• What is the general issue: In the wake of so many data breaches, companies often act to worsen their problems and add to the stress that will impact them and their customers by either failing to properly communicate in a timely manner with the press, customers, regulators or employees.
• Why is this important? We need only look at breaches this past year to see examples of how companies have unintentionally made their situations worse by failing to proactively develop their data security and privacy reputation before the breach, and then failing to have a communication plan or failing to follow it during and after a breach.
• Who will be most interested in this program? Attorneys, executives, marketing and compliance professionals will find this session helpful in not only presenting the key issues bur providing practical solutions to address those issues, regardless of a company's size or resources.
• What core concepts are addressed? Amongst other topics, the following will be addressed:
• Pre Breach
o Developing your information privacy and security reputation
o Establishing key relationships with regulators and others
o Documenting and communicating your policy on the collection, use, storage, transfer and safeguarding of information
o Forming an Incident Response Team, comprised of internal and external resources
o Drafting, Implementing and Testing an Incident Response Plan, to include messaging

• What are the key learning objectives?
