The aim is to provide clients with a one-stop-shop to prepare them for handling data breaches, either with an effective response or by preventing them from occurring, by bringing together the technical and forensic know-how of KPMG with the firm’s legal expertise.

‘We decided to work with KPMG to address the growing concern among corporate clients around the profound consequences for their businesses and their customers from data breaches,’ said technology, media & telecommunications partner Steve Tan.

‘The reality is that it is a matter of when, not if, a data breach occurs and if so, customers and regulators would want to be assured that the organisation would be in control of the situation when it happens.’ Source: Australasian Lawyer
