IT & Privacy

The world is experiencing rapid digitisation. It is therefore essential that digital resilience and cybersecurity be strengthened and that protection be provided against IT and privacy risks. Naturally this applies in the case of the business community, although public authorities, and healthcare and educational institutions may not lag behind either.

To what extent does an organisation have digital resilience?

Although it is commendable that electronic processes and information technology offer a variety of opportunities, it is also advisable to be prepared for vulnerabilities such as information technology dependence, data breaches and cybercrime. It is also imperative to comply with privacy and data protection requirements. The timely identification of risks and the adoption of appropriate measures can boost digital resilience and enable businesses and other organisations to remain ahead. Preparation for a cyberattack or data breach may enable them to avoid economic and reputational harm.

From complex legislation to practical advice

Dirkzwager’s IT & Privacy team possesses an extensive knowledge of IT systems, the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and IT compliance legislation, complemented by a profound understanding of various industries. Our lawyers transpose complex IT and privacy legislation into practical advice.

Dirkzwager functions as a one-stop shop. In addition to privacy law, all of our experts are also familiar with one additional field of law, as well as a particular market sector, such as IT, labour, liability, insurance and health law. They help draft and assess contracts, assist with disputes and provide after-sales care in the event of damage claims.

IT & Privacy

Tijdens een datalek komt er veel op je af. Het is fijn om dan een ervaren adviseur op het gebied van privacywet- en regelgeving naast je te hebben die overzicht heeft, de rust kan bewaren en goed meedenkt in de communicatie naar slachtoffers en externe toezichthouders."

De HAN werd in september 2021 geconfronteerd met een hack die leidde tot een datalek. De gevolgen hadden impact op de hele organisatie. Dirkzwager heeft de HAN begeleid tijdens het crisismanagement en in de communicatie met derden, waaronder ook claimafhandeling.
