Data Privacy Defense and Response Team

Benesch understands that for many of our clients, business is done online. With the growth of the online marketplace comes a new and constantly unfolding web of best practices, regulations, and legislation meant to manage the privacy and cybersecurity risks associated with the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. We have more computers, mobile applications, 24/7 connectivity, and evolving security threats than ever before, while being subject to more stringent legal requirements and security standards.
