Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Attorneys

FRB’s data privacy and cybersecurity attorneys help companies of all sizes build resilient information security programs, navigate evolving privacy regulations, and respond quickly when a cyber incident occurs. From day‑to‑day compliance counseling to high‑stakes investigations, our data privacy cybersecurity practice is focused on protecting your business, your reputation, and the personal data you are entrusted with.

How Our Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Attorneys Can Help

Our cybersecurity team advises clients across industries, including financial services, technology, healthcare, retail, digital assets, artificial intelligence, and more. Our scope of services includes the full lifecycle of data governance, privacy, and data security issues. Whether you are building a new compliance program, responding to data breaches, or negotiating complex data transfer arrangements, we represent clients at every stage, with an aim to proactively reduce risk and vigorously defend your interests when problems arise.

Below are some of the core ways FRB’s data privacy and cybersecurity attorneys can support your organization. 

Privacy Regulation Compliance

Governments around the world continue to expand and tighten privacy and information security requirements. FRB helps you keep pace with this complex regulatory landscape, including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), U.S. federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other sector‑specific rules for financial services and healthcare, and emerging international standards. We design practical compliance programs tailored to your operations, data flows, and risk profile rather than one‑size‑fits‑all checklists.

Our team works closely with your legal, compliance, and IT stakeholders to map personal data, assess gaps against applicable privacy and data security regulations, and implement policies, procedures, and controls that stand up to regulator scrutiny. We also defend clients in investigations by regulators and state attorneys general, and in follow‑on litigation, positioning your organization to respond to inquiries quickly, accurately, and strategically.

Data Management

Effective data management is at the heart of both privacy and cybersecurity. FRB’s attorneys help clients understand what data they collect, where it resides, who has access to it, and how it moves across borders. We assist with data mapping, retention schedules, and deletion frameworks to reduce unnecessary data, lower breach exposure, and improve incident response.

We also advise on complex data transfer issues, including cross‑border transfers under GDPR, vendor and cloud arrangements, and data sharing within corporate groups. Our guidance helps you leverage data as a strategic asset while maintaining robust data security and information security safeguards. By aligning your technical controls with your legal and contractual obligations, we help you reduce risk before an incident ever occurs.

We condense this gathered intelligence on your regulatory obligations, data flows, and risk profile into clear, actionable privacy policies and internal procedures. These governance documents ensure your team understands their roles and responsibilities, promoting a culture of proactive compliance and robust data security. These privacy policies are also designed to obtain consent and provide appropriate notice to your customers.

Development of Agreements

Clearly-drafted contracts are one of the most powerful tools to manage privacy and cybersecurity risk. FRB regularly drafts, reviews, and negotiates data processing agreements, information security addenda, business associate agreements, and other privacy and data security provisions in commercial contracts. We focus on clear, operational terms that your teams can actually implement.

Our attorneys ensure that your agreements address regulatory compliance requirements, security standards, incident notification obligations, data transfer restrictions, allocation of liability, and cooperation with regulators and law enforcement. Whether you are a service provider or a customer, we help you allocate risk appropriately and build contract frameworks that support long‑term, trusted relationships with your business partners.

Internal Governance

We assist in developing the internal policies, roles, and responsibilities (including data protection officer functions) that form the backbone of your program. This includes crafting internal acceptable use policies, internal data security standards, and tailored employee training programs to foster a privacy-aware culture. Strong internal governance ensures consistency and accountability across all departments and supports rapid decision-making.

External Policies

We draft clear, comprehensive, and legally compliant external privacy policies designed to build customer trust and meet regulatory mandates. This includes drafting and regularly reviewing website privacy policies, terms of service, cookie policies, and customer consent mechanisms. Our focus is on ensuring these documents accurately reflect your data practices and provide appropriate notice and choice to data subjects in line with global legal requirements.

Why Work With an FRB Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Attorney

At FRB, data privacy and cybersecurity are not side projects. These issues are core to our practice. We know that clients need answers that are practical, timely, and grounded in how technology actually works, not just theoretical interpretations of the law. 

Clients also choose FRB because we integrate privacy and security into the full lifecycle of their business. We regularly counsel on product launches, digital transformations, M&A and other transactions, vendor and outsourcing relationships, and new technologies such as digital assets, AI, and advanced analytics.

All of this helps you innovate confidently while staying ahead of legal and regulatory change.
