In her recent article -- GDPR Is Finally Here: It’s Time to Make Sure Your Current Cyber Policy Will Protect against New Financial Exposures -- Blank Rome insurance coverage partner Linda Kornfeld wrote: Companies can face large financial exposure for GDPR “fines or penalties.” Are they covered under currently worded cyber policies? The answer is, maybe not if your policy, e.g., covers regulatory proceedings addressing only failures to protect private information, as opposed to GDPR proceedings that may address broader noncompliant data collection and use practices. Additionally, coverage for GDPR fines or penalties may be more restricted under the laws of many European countries than the laws of certain states in the United States. Your insurer may agree to choice of law language in your policy that will increase the chances of coverage. On behalf of all of us at HB -- Congratulations to Linda on her move to [...]

Certainly, “one surprise from the survey was the general lack of readiness as it relates to data privacy and GDPR,” Todd Marlin, a principal at Ernst & Young, told The Cybersecurity Law Report. The article takes a closer look at the survey results and what companies might do to improve their operational approach and their use of forensic data analytics while meeting [...]
