Cybersecurity
In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is not just a technical issue but a critical legal concern.
At NEON, we provide holistic legal advice in close collaboration with cybersecurity experts to ensure your business is prepared for, can react to, and recover from cyber threats effectively. Our services encompass all stages of cybersecurity management—Prevention, Reaction, and Response—offering tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.
Prevention
Effective cybersecurity starts with understanding and addressing potential risks. We assist businesses in evaluating regulatory requirements for IT security under key legal frameworks such as the GDPR, NIS-2 Directive, and the EU Cybersecurity Act. Our team provides legal guidance on data protection and data security issues, ensuring that your IT systems and processes meet these stringent standards. We also help you establish governance practices tailored to your organization and review IT contracts and policies to align them with current legal requirements. To strengthen your defenses, we offer training on the legal implications of cybersecurity, enabling your team to proactively mitigate risks and comply with applicable laws.
Reaction
When a cyber incident occurs, swift and decisive action is crucial. We provide immediate legal support to navigate the complexities of a security breach, including assistance with mandatory regulatory notifications under laws such as the GDPR or NIS-2 Directive. Beyond mitigating legal risks, we help initiate criminal proceedings when necessary and leverage our strong connections with investigative authorities to ensure effective enforcement. Our team also collaborates with your technical experts to contain the incident and provides guidance on managing contractual obligations and minimizing reputational damage in the aftermath of an attack.
Response
After a cyber incident, recovery is key to restoring trust and operational stability. We support your business in conducting detailed post-incident analyses, preparing legal reports for stakeholders, and enhancing your response protocols to strengthen resilience against future threats. We also assist in resolving disputes, managing claims, and addressing reputational challenges that may arise. Where necessary, we help renegotiate contracts impacted by the incident. By focusing on long-term solutions, we ensure your organization is better equipped to navigate future cybersecurity challenges confidently.
