Cyber security threats are becoming more prominent – and with that comes more stringent regulation and significant financial and other associated risks.

Firms and individuals should be implementing cyber security measures to increase cyber resilience against exposure. In the event a cyber security event occurs, firms and individuals should place themselves in a position to respond – and respond quickly.

Having an efficient and effective response to a cyber attack is vital to limiting the damages caused to a business. William Roberts Lawyers can act swiftly to help contain the impacts of a cyber threat, while ensuring an organisation or individual meets its legal requirements.

Cyber security issues need rapid, compliant and effective action. By prioritising your needs, we can deliver comprehensive frameworks for your business’ continued success.

Uphold your legal obligations

With the continual changes in this area of the law, including the introduction of the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (UK), there has been an increasing regulatory focus on cyber security, cyber risk and cyber resilience. As such, business executives must remain acutely aware of their ongoing obligations and the ways in which they are changing.

William Roberts’ experience and key partnerships ensure that we (and you) are constantly informed and ready to advise you on and work with you to fulfil your legal and regulatory obligations. We can provide notifications on your behalf and respond to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, ensure affected parties receive notifications of any issues (where applicable), and advise on the most appropriate ways to respond to any cyber security incident.

Breaches to your cyber security can be time consuming and prohibitively expensive. By working with William Roberts Lawyers, you will benefit from market-leading advice that can mitigate your risk and keep your compliance intact.

We understand what’s required of every member of a business in the event of a cyber attack and have the infrastructure in place to address it. To stay ahead of the ever-changing cyber security landscape, get in touch with our team.
