Global data breach notification requirements pose critical issues for legal departments, senior managers, and boards of companies in all industry sectors worldwide. The current environment creates a perfect storm with more data security threats, more vulnerabilities, and more data breach notification requirements. Baker & McKenzie provides this Global Data Breach Notification Guide as a resource for companies to benchmark the ever expanding range of global breach notification requirements. As always, this guide is not a substitute for legal advice, and in the event of an actual or potential incident, companies need to engage qualified counsel to advise on the application of local breach notification and other requirements to their particular circumstances.
