Data Breach Support Service Sheet

Assessment of Exposed Data

Data breaches are accelerating in frequency and severity, with tougher penalties for serious or repeated breaches. Organisations increasingly need to assess large volumes of data in short timeframes to respond to mandatory data breach notification requirements and keep customers and staff safe. Combining expertise in e-discovery, digital forensics, privacy and crisis response, FTI Consulting offers complete support on your data breach response to help minimise damage, protect your customers and company reputation, meet regulatory requirements and ensure business continuity.

When responding to a data breach, it’s critical to understand:

Potentially compromised data and if it involved the ‘exposure’ of data. e.g., stolen, lost or unintentionally published
Different types of information within the exposed data - including personal information
What the risks are and whether to notify regulators and affected individuals
