For organisations globally, the threat of data breach has never been greater and only continues to escalate. For most companies, it is not a question of whether it will experience a cyber security incident, but a matter of when it will happen and how well it can be managed.
In any crisis incident, effective communication is critical if an organisation is to preserve stakeholder trust and protect corporate reputation. Nowhere is this more true than in cyber security scenarios, where the risk of operational disruption, regulatory penalty, customer departure and long-term value loss could not be higher. More than ever, it is essential that companies of all sizes take every step to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber security incidents effectively.
Powerscourt has significant experience advising clients on complex and high profile cyber security matters across a wide range of industries. Our clients vary from major listed businesses and global consumer brands, to SMEs and B2B private enterprises.
In each appointment, we work in close concert with specialist cyber legal counsel, forensic IT and executive leadership and corporate affairs teams to prepare and implement incident response plans which ensure regulatory requirements are fulfilled, stakeholder needs are met, and reputational and commercial impact to the company is minimised.
