Robert Anderson<\/a>, a shareholder at Lindabury, McCormick, Estabrook & Cooper and a member of the firm’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy<\/a> practice group was recently questioned by Tom Hughes of ROI-NJ, regarding the reasons a business should consult an attorney to oversee cybersecurity planning and preparation.\u00a0 In short; the answer is: attorney-client privilege<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have a breach and your company gets sued \u2014 and it will, Anderson said \u2014 having all of your preparation protected could result in huge savings of both money and reputation. Anderson, speaking at a recent ROI-NJ Thought Leadership Series panel, explained how. \u201cWhen you\u2019re first starting to put together a program to protect your company, one of the things that you will typically want to do is hire someone called an ethical hacker, who will try to get into your system,\u201d he said. \u201cThe results of this kind of a penetration testing that determines the vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your system will be in a report that goes on for pages and pages of all the problems in your system. If you do end up with an attack and end up in litigation, Exhibit A in the litigation is going to be this detailed report that shows all the vulnerabilities of your system, and they\u2019ll be able to see how you elected to prioritize the problems. \u201cThe litigants are then going to say you knew you had these vulnerabilities and spot the one you didn\u2019t fix.\u201d Having legal counsel order the penetration test would likely shield that document by virtue of attorney-client privilege, Anderson said.<\/p>\n
