Data Privacy and Cybersecurity
There has never been an era where a lot of information has been collected, analyzed, and used for varied reasons like today. There is no doubt that data has become the new gold of the 21st century. Almost every aspect of our humanity relies on the use of technology. We are in the age of aggressive advancement in information and communications technology. The collection, use and disclosure of data has created unprecedented challenges vis-à-vis the protection of individual privacy and the conduct of business. Businesses need to ensure robust information infrastructure where their networks, systems and data are protected from unauthorized access, and they must also ensure that their collection, storage, and use of data is in line with the purpose for which it is collected. Our work at Freelane is geared toward the drafting, planning, prevention, and audit of privacy policies as well as review/audit of business systems for cyber risk compliance.
Specifically, we:
- Design and implement privacy rules
- Conduct policy audit to ensure compliance with relevant laws
- Respond to queries relating to infringement upon privacy
- Track and prosecute cases of identity theft
- Protect against defamation
- Prepare risk mitigation plans
- Prepare incident response plans, and
- Train staff on regulations and trends in cybersecurity and data protection
