Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, a national law firm with an office in Denver, has developed an app its clients can use to quickly connect with the firm’s data breach response team. The firm unveiled the app Thursday at the Advisen Cyber Risks Insights Conference at the Grand Hyatt in New York.
In addition to giving users 24/7 access to Lewis Brisbois’ data breach response team through its “Report a Breach” feature, the app contains information resources to help users prevent, prepare for and respond to a data breach, according to a firm press release.
Portland-based partner Sean Hoar, who chairs the firm’s data privacy and cybersecurity team, said the app “will ensure that clients and cyber insurance carriers have access to our rapid response team at all times.”
“The wealth of information available through the app highlights our holistic approach to data privacy and cybersecurity across the country,” Hoar said. “We are excited to provide this platform as one more tool to combat malicious actors in this increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape.”
The app provides summaries of all state data breach notification statutes and security standards. It also includes a full directory of Lewis Brisbois’ data privacy and cybersecurity attorneys and access to posts from the team’s Digital Insights blog, which covers recent trends and emerging issues in the data privacy and information security sectors.
