XFIL Strategies will also help navigate the ever-growing patchwork of State and Federal Data Privacy Laws with a sharp eye on your enterprise needs.
Protecting Your Business
The federal government and numerous states have enacted legislation regarding data breaches.
A data breach is the voluntary or involuntary release of secure, private, or confidential information to an untrusted environment. It is a security infraction in which private, protected, or undisclosed data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen, or used by an individual unauthorized to do so.
Data breaches often include highly sensitive and private financial information, personal identifiable information (PII), and protected health information (PHI). Once these violations have occurred, companies are legally obligated to warn of their security breaches.
Warning of Data Breach
According to federal law, the notice to affected individuals must be made expeditiously and without unreasonable delay. Florida law allows covered entities to take into account the time necessary to allow the covered entity to determine the scope of the breach of security, identify individuals affected by the breach, and restore the reasonable integrity of the breached data system. However, time is a factor, and notice to affected individuals is to occur within 30 days after determining or having a reason to believe that a breach has occurred.
Aftermath of Data Breach
Once a company’s data has been breached, there will be great expense in protecting and retaining their clients, with typical amounts for larger entities reaching into the millions.
Companies are left to contend with a ruined reputation, lost revenue, and damaged intellectual property. Legal counsel is instrumental in recovering these matters and protecting companies from future cyber-crimes.
As technology advances, the number of cyber infractions continues to rise at an unprecedented rate, and businesses must take proper precautions to guard against these crimes.
