In the current digital and virtual age, businesses are receiving, storing, and utilizing more data, including sensitive personal information, than at any time in history. Businesses need to have appropriate procedures, processes, and people in place to manage this growing risk. Vernis & Bowling can partner with employer clients and cyber insurance providers to assist with the preparation and implementation of proactive compliance plans to comply with relevant privacy laws and regulations. We have a team of data privacy and cyber security attorneys throughout our offices to work with clients across the Southeast.
About Our Practice
Vernis & Bowling is your insurance defense partner when Cyber Security events occur and insurance policies are involved. Within almost every industry, companies are holding, storing, sharing, or utilizing sensitive personal or financial information. On an increasingly daily basis we are seeing the proliferation of data security and privacy regulations. Likewise, we are seeing increasingly frequent reports of privacy breaches, data theft, and the potential exposure of mass records.
Vernis & Bowling is partnering with insurers and their customers in responding to claims and litigation involving cyber security and data privacy matters, whether under stand-alone policies or when bundled under traditional insurance coverages. We are available to assist in the investigation, support, and defense of insureds and insurers in these matters, including in the anticipated coverage questions and declaratory judgment actions which may become necessary. The more data your business or insureds are holding, the more likely it is that they will become a target. Retailers, restaurants, banks, brokerages, health care companies, professional service providers, data management firms, media and technology companies, and even other law firms can be easily exposed. We are here to swiftly resolve questions, restore confidence, and assist you with your cyber security and data privacy insurance needs.
