Data Breach Response
When data leaves, what happens next?
Practice responding to unauthorized data access, including notification requirements and regulatory response.
Overview
Data breaches trigger complex legal and regulatory obligations with strict timelines. Data Breach Response exercises test your ability to investigate unauthorized access, determine what was compromised, navigate notification requirements, and coordinate with legal counsel and regulators—all while managing public relations and customer communication.
Common Questions
Should legal counsel participate?
Yes, strongly recommended. Data breaches are legal events as much as technical ones. Having counsel in the exercise ensures legal obligations are understood and privilege considerations are practiced.
What about international data?
We can incorporate GDPR, Canadian PIPEDA, or other international requirements based on your operations. Cross-border breaches have the most complex notification requirements.
Do you provide notification templates?
As a deliverable option, yes. Pre-drafted notification templates—customizable for specific incidents—dramatically reduce time-to-notification during real breaches.
How do you handle media simulation?
We inject media inquiries into the scenario. Participants must decide who responds, what to say, and how to manage the story while investigation continues. This tests your crisis communications plan.
