Safeguarding Your Business Against Data Security Breaches
Pennsylvania and federal laws mandate swift action following a breach, with stringent notification requirements and potential regulatory investigations that demand strategic legal navigation. When your company’s future hangs in the balance, you need trial privacy law attorneys who understand what is truly at stake.
Our business data breach lawyers at Harty Williams have defended businesses in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New Jersey and nationwide against data breach claims. With over 100 trials led by founder Tom Harty, we know how to turn complex cases into courtroom victories.
Understanding Data Breach Risks
A data security breach happens when unauthorized individuals access sensitive information. A single breach can disrupt operations, drain finances and alienate customers. Common threats include:
- Cyberattacks (ransomware, phishing)
- Internal vulnerabilities (lost devices, employee mistakes)
- Third-party failures (cloud providers, vendors)
Pennsylvania’s notification laws demand immediate action. Delays or incomplete responses can trigger penalties under federal regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or state statutes.
