Data Breach: Investigations & Compliance Junior - 1 day - 1000€ HT
Description
Data breaches represent one of the major risks for organizations, with often significant financial, reputational, and legal consequences. When a breach occurs, the speed and accuracy of the response are critical. It is essential to simultaneously implement technical remediation measures and legal and regulatory procedures.
During this one-day training course, participants will learn how to orchestrate a data breach response. The program adopts a dual approach: a technical component focused on quick wins and rapid investigation based on the type of threat (ransomware, web exposure, insider threats), coupled with a legal component detailing legal obligations, subcontractor management, and crisis communication. The objective is to provide immediately applicable operational reflexes.
