Legal Management of Security Breaches and Cyberattacks
A ransomware attack, accidentally emailing a database, or the theft of a corporate laptop triggers a technical, reputational, and legal crisis. At C&Co. Legal, we orchestrate emergency legal responses to security incidents. We evaluate impact, process official 72-hour notifications to the AEPD, and manage civil claims from affected parties, protecting companies against negligence penalties.
Emergency Legal Response (72 Hours)
1. Urgent Notification to the AEPD
We draft and submit the mandatory notification to the supervisory authority within 72 hours, presenting mitigation measures taken to avoid formal sanction proceedings.
2. Management of Communications to Affected Parties
We evaluate whether risk levels legally require notifying clients and staff. We draft official notices ensuring transparency while shielding the firm against future lawsuits.
3. Defense Against Damage Claims
We defend the company against civil damage claims from users, clients, or staff whose data was exposed, demanding recourse against IT vendors if the breach stemmed from their fault.
