Cybersecurity Law

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern — cybersecurity is a strategic and legal imperative. I help your business build resilience by integrating cybersecurity requirements into contracts, governance frameworks, incident response plans, and operational workflows.

  • A strong legal foundation is the key to effective cybersecurity — especially in regulated environments. I support you with:

    • Designing and implementing information security management systems.

    • Drafting and reviewing cybersecurity policies, incident response plans, and internal guidelines.

    • Identifying applicable legal and regulatory frameworks and integrating them into your processes.

    • Aligning internal structures across legal, compliance, IT, procurement, and risk functions.

    • Supporting certification initiatives with audit-ready documentation.

    • Structuring contracts with robust cybersecurity obligations, SLAs, and vendor security requirements.

  • When things go wrong, every minute counts. I help you respond fast, effectively and legally:

    • Managing breach notification procedures

    • Preparing statements and communications for authorities, customers, and press

    • Guiding cross-functional incident response teams through legal decision-making

    • Defending against enforcement actions and liability claims

    • Coordinating forensic investigations and ensuring legal privilege and documentation integrity

  • People are the weakest link — and your strongest defense. I help you build a security-aware culture through:

    • Security and privacy awareness training tailored to legal risk

    • Legal workshops for IT teams, executives, and compliance officers

    • Employee onboarding support with cybersecurity responsibilities and NDAs

    • Embedding legal review into risk assessments and change processes
