Preventing incidents, protecting data and ensuring business continuity
Cyber security is an integral part of protecting a company’s intangible assets and ensuring business continuity. The growing reliance on software, databases, cloud services and artificial intelligence systems exposes technology owners, users and suppliers to risks that require coordinated management of technical, contractual and legal aspects.
LGV Avvocati assists Italian and international companies in assessing cyber risks and putting in place the necessary measures to prevent and manage unauthorised access, data theft, system compromises, service disruptions and the disclosure of confidential information.
Our work includes analysing processes and relationships with suppliers and technology partners, defining responsibilities, establishing internal procedures and setting out contractual provisions regarding security obligations, cooperation and incident management.
We have specific expertise in complex IT systems and contracts relating to outsourcing, development, licensing, maintenance and the provision of digital services. We assist owners and users of software and databases, as well as suppliers and users of artificial intelligence models and solutions, in defining protective measures and allocating risks relating to security, system availability, data loss and business continuity.
In the event of a data breach or cyber incident, we support both the organisations using the compromised systems and the suppliers who have suffered or must manage the breach. We coordinate investigations, the preservation of evidence, communications between the parties, the assessment of notification obligations and the measures necessary to minimise the impact of the incident.
We also assist clients in managing contractual and non-contractual liabilities, in their dealings with the authorities and in any disputes, collaborating, where necessary, with IT consultants, cybersecurity specialists and other technical experts.
