New Data Breach 411 App Helps Companies Navigate Data Breach Laws

It's a general counsel's worst nightmare. Sensitive data. Gone. Stolen by faceless thieves who breached the company's seemingly secure network.

As my partner Scott Vernick of Fox Rothschild recently stated:  "Data breaches can severely impact a company's reputation and have debilitating consequences to businesses big and small."

A new mobile phone app launched by the Fox Rothschild Privacy and Data Security Practice provides a guide to swift damage control in situations like this. The app—called Data Breach 411—can help companies who are affected by a breach navigate the various laws and regulations relating to data breaches. Currently, 46 states have laws in place addressing how organizations should prepare for and respond to the loss or theft of data.
