We want to do right by you
Making Sense of Privacy Compliance
Privacy compliance is all about following the rule book - the laws, regulations, and standards that are here to keep personal information safe. In the digital realm of our modern world where the threat of data breaches constantly looms, organizations are pressed to prioritize privacy compliance to earn their customer's trust and steer clear of legal complications. We are here to help! Our expert legal team will guide you through the complex landscape of privacy compliance and aid in crafting sturdy privacy policies and procedures.
Redefining the Protection of Personal Information
Companies use a host of strategies to protect personal information. Robust security systems, firm data protection policies, and alignment with relevant privacy norms form the bulwark against unauthorized access or disclosure. Techniques such as encryption, access controls, and routine security audit are employed. The bottom line is that protecting personal information is paramount in the information age.
Consumer privacy rights are the legal entitlements that an individual has over the collection, use, and dissemination of their personal data. These legal provisions empower individuals to exercise control over their data, opt-out from specific data practices or even request deletion of their information. Compliance with these rights is a must for businesses striving to ensure privacy.
Certain sectors have custom privacy requirements that add to the privacy norms' existing demands. For instance, the healthcare industry needs to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for the protection of patient medical records. The financial sector, on the other hand, is mandated by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) to keep consumers' financial information secure. Apprehending these sector-specific regulations is crucial for businesses operating within such domains.
Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) are bustling with sensitive patient information and their proper management is critically vital for healthcare providers. Our specialized EMR/EHR compliance services ensure that healthcare institutions perfectly maintain data integrity, protect patient privacy and adhere to all governing norms related to such records.
Industries like legal and real estate have niche standards and regulations aiming to protect the sensitive data of the clients they serve. While the American Land Title Association (ALTA) has set standards for real estate transactions, the Sarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX) safeguards the integrity of financial reporting. We can help businesses navigate these intricate requirements and keep their clients' information secure.
GLBA sets forth regulations to secure consumers' non-public personal information within financial institutions. Institutions are required to formulate privacy policies, provide privacy notices to customers and put up safeguards for data protection. With our law services, compliance with the GLBA will be as smooth as a breeze.
ISO 27001 is the international hallmark of a dependable information security management system. Achieving this seal of security means your organization is committed to shielding its information assets from threats. Our legal team will facilitate your ISO 27001 certification process.
Implementing proper security controls and policies is key for regulatory compliance. Our law services are all set to help you put regulatory compliance into practice, ensuring the protection of personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration through comprehensive and tailored security control plans.
Efficiently handling both first-party data (collected from customers) and third-party data (from external sources) is crucial for compliance. We can help you formulate effective policies governing the collection, storage, and usage of both types of data complying with privacy regulations.
Incident response plans are vital to managing and curtailing the impact of security breaches. By identifying threats, setting response protocols, and undertaking regular drills, we can help you chalk out an industry-grade incident response plan.
