Proceedings related to security incidents

A security incident threatens not only a company’s reputation, but also its compliance with the GDPR and national cybersecurity regulations. The law firm supports clients in managing information security incidents, including preparing procedures, handling crisis situations, liaising with authorities, and implementing effective personal data and digital information protection management systems.

When an incident occurs – how we help in crisis management

Our support covers the full range of legal activities related to security incident management in both the private and public sectors. We advise in situations such as data leaks, ransomware attacks, and accidental disclosure of personal data. KWKR develops incident management procedures, assists in risk analysis, and prepares notifications to the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, data subjects, and other required authorities.

Together with our clients, we build an incident reporting and information protection system based on the real needs of the organization, in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR and the requirements of the national cybersecurity system. We also provide assistance in regaining control over digital infrastructure and cooperating with IT service providers to mitigate the effects of a breach.

Experience in incident management – we know how to act when time is of the essence

We have advised businesses from many industries, including finance, e-commerce, healthcare, and manufacturing, on urgent incidents threatening information and personal data security. We have supported companies that have fallen victim to cyberattacks, data breaches, or system errors.

Our experience includes not only incident response, but also investigations before the President of the Personal Data Protection Office and corrective measures to be implemented as part of the information security management system. We work with IT and compliance teams to develop effective risk management mechanisms and ensure full compliance with the law.

Why entrust us with incident management – your security is in good hands

Our law firm combines legal expertise with a practical approach to digital security management. We understand that in the event of an incident, it is essential to act quickly, follow clear procedures, and communicate effectively with the authorities and entities whose data may have been compromised. With our support, your company receives not only legal advice, but also concrete measures to limit the impact of the incident and the risk of further consequences.

We help implement internal response mechanisms, create documentation confirming compliance with regulations, and educate the team on cybersecurity and personal data protection. Our goal is to restore control, limit losses, and build your organization’s resilience for the future.

Reporting an incident is not enough – what you need to know about your obligations after a security breach

A security incident, even if it results from human error, can result in serious legal obligations. The personal data controller is required to report the breach to the President of the Personal Data Protection Office and, in some cases, also notify the data subjects. This requires prior risk analysis and clear decision-making procedures, both legal and organizational.

The Act on the National Cybersecurity System imposes additional obligations on entities from the digital sector and operators of key services. Regardless of the industry, every entity processing personal data should have an incident management system and documentation enabling it to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of the GDPR.

It is worth preparing for emergencies in advance and, in the event of an incident, seeking the assistance of a law firm that can provide both ongoing support and preventive measures for the future.
