Data, Privacy and Cyber in Technology

The combined skills of our technology and data, privacy and cyber practices means we are uniquely placed to advise on both legal and practical challenges. With strong links with the ICO and extensive expertise in the sector, we are able to provide pragmatic advice in this fast-moving sector.

Overview

Maximising the use of data has never been more critical to the success of an organisation. However, misuse of data, even if unintended, has the power to turn success into catastrophe overnight.

The value of data, and strong data protection compliance, is reflected in the constantly evolving regulatory regime which shows no sign of slowing down. In a post-Brexit world, the UK often aims to position itself as a global leader in this arena.

Our extensive expertise in the technology sector means that our lawyers can advise you in the context of an industry with its own unique and fast-moving challenges. Our strong links with the ICO result in us closely following developments in law and guidance, so we are well-positioned to advise on the evolving regulatory landscape as it affects our clients.

We have vast experience handling a range of queries of all sizes. From the very small, where all it takes is a quick call to us, to the major strategic matters involving data and privacy advice being obtained and distilled globally.

Our experts regularly advise clients on data protection issues commonly arising in the context of technology projects. This includes the use of wearables, IoT, data analytics, Blockchain and other DLTs, augmented/virtual reality, cloud hosting, overseas transfers, use of sub-processors, data processing clauses, data sharing agreements, risk assessments, and managing contractual liability for data protection breaches. Our cyber and data risk team also regularly advises technology sector clients following security breaches such as ransomware attacks.
