Data Privacy & Information Security

Numerous federal, state, and international laws and regulations have been and continue to be enacted on restricting the use and management of information about people. In addition to laws, businesses are being met with increasingly stringent contractual requirements from their customers concerning the maintenance of confidential information. OlenderFeldman LLP attorneys are experienced with privacy compliance issues involving, among other things: identity theft prevention, breach response and notification requirements, and technical and administrative security measures for the protection of confidential business information and data about individuals, including personally identifiable information.

From something as seemingly simple as designing a website privacy policy, to matters as complex as compliance with European Union Data Protection Directive and other laws concerning personal data, OlenderFeldman LLP can assist clients with their privacy compliance needs. OlenderFeldman has Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP) accredited attorneys who focus on designing business policies, practices, and procedures, and training to comply with the detailed and complex legal landscape involved in data privacy. Our attorneys work closely with Firm clients to: (i) help clients determine where they collect data and what types of data they maintain; (ii) develop compliance programs to mitigate risks associated with maintaining that data; (iii) respond to actual or alleged security breaches; (iv) defend against administrative or private actions, lawsuits, or claims associated with alleged non-compliance; and (v) enforce our clients rights with respect to alleged breaches of security and data management by outsourced vendors. OlenderFeldman LLP is on the cutting edge of data privacy and information security, and regularly monitors new laws and regulations on a global basis.

Additionally, OlenderFeldman has an affiliated company, Acentris LLC, which is a full service data privacy and information security consulting firm that provides “360 degree” services covering all aspects of data collection, maintenance and protection, and IT security. Due to its relationship with OlenderFeldman, Acentris is able to offer data privacy and information technology services that are not traditionally provided through a law firm, while enabling companies to obtain the benefit of the attorney-client privilege and litigation through OlenderFeldman when needed or appropriate.
