UNITEDLEX



Despite unprecedented awareness at the executive level, companies of all sizes struggle to contain the escalating costs of responding to data breach events. According to a 2014 survey by the Ponemon Institute1, a data breach incident in the U.S. has an average cost of $5 million.

UnitedLex provides unparalleled solutions resulting in risk mitigation, efficiency improvements and cost optimization for its clients in North America, Europe and Asia.

The UnitedLex Difference

UnitedLex is the only company offering a cyber risk solution that transcends the concerns of IT. Our consultants possess diverse exper-tise in privacy law, executive man-agement, Federal law enforcement, corporate IT security, and computer forensics and have years of experi-ence helping companies manage not just the technical aspects of data security incidents but also anticipate the practical and legal implications of that breach.

UnitedLex Cyber Risk Solutions

In addition to direct monetary costs, a single data breach can potentially: • Undermine the trust relationship you have with your customers, causing you to lose them

forever• Divulge critical intellectual property to your competitors• Destroy your brand’s reputation• Put you in the cross hairs of aggressive regulators seeking to enforce state and federal laws

and increasingly creative class action plaintiffs’ firms looking to capitalize on your situation.

A Unified Cyber Approach That Goes Beyond ITUnitedLex understands that data breaches can overwhelm the resources of any business. We believe that your best protection is to collaborate with a partner like us who knows how to combat the situation from all angles and who can support and guide you throughout the process. And because we foster teamwork among all the stakeholders of your organization, we help you develop methodologies that can be applied to other challenges your business will face going forward.An effective cyber security solution requires the collaboration of multiple stakeholders, most notably:

IT

Legal/Compliance

Executive management, including board

of directors

Finance

Human Resources

Any of the aforementioned consequences have legal repercussions that could cripple your organization. But although over 85% of executives are concerned about the impact cyber attacks pose to their organizations, only a minority feel they have the funds, tools, or per-sonnel either to prevent breaches or to detect and respond quickly to contain data security incidents.

Because we analyze the ways in which a breach can affect each group of stakeholders, we are able to explain its impact from a legal and business perspective, as well as an IT perspec-tive. As a result, we design a risk management program that fits your unique requirementsand empowers you to use it in a truly effective manner.

Proactive Incident ResponseNo risk management solution is complete without a corresponding incident response plan that you can deploy at the time of an attack. Our deep and broad-based experience in both risk assessment and incident response, enables us to see your strategy through to the worst-case scenario and anticipate the response in order to minimize the potential damage. Our consultants map out a systemized plan that recognizes all aspects of the risks involved so we can immediately respond to any data breach scenario with maximum defensibility – whether the incident involves an advanced targeted network attack, a stolen mobile device or abuse of authorized credentials by an insider.

While helping your IT department stop an attack, our team simultaneously supplies actionable intelligence to your legal counsel so that they may determine the legal and regulatory ramifications and respond in a measured, thoughtful manner. UnitedLex’s solution also is fully integrat-ed with our advanced e-discovery and data analytics offerings to facilitate a seamless transition from breach response to litigation response.In addition, we work closely with your legal and risk management groups to anticipate potential regulatory and litigation risks that could arise from an incident. Our impact assessment reports identify affected IT infrastructure and characterize the categories of sensitive data exposed by the breach, which allows the IT, legal and corporate stakeholders in your organization to respond to the problem in a unified, holistic man-ner, rather than waste time trying to piece together the consequences from the various angles. In addition to containing the incident, our team will focus on preserving and collecting information likely to be relevant in any subsequent inquiry or legal action.

Intelligent, Holistic Risk AssessmentBecause UnitedLex understands all the ramifications that can result from a data breach, we can transform information security from a necessary expense to an area that enables business growth. We involve key stakeholders early in the process so when an IT security incident occurs, your business is poised to address the totality of the risks presented rather than just the IT impact.

Critical Data Asset Inventory & Sensitivity Score

Intelligent Threat Mapping Target Vulnerability Evaluation Critical Data Asset Protection Plan

UnitedLex applies a risk-based approach to assessment in order to identify and quantify the risks to your data and the consequences of that data being lost or damaged. Our consultants gather intelligence across your entire infrastructure to classify the value of your data assets and assess the threats to each asset class. We keep you informed on the contractual, legal, and ethical ramifications of a potential cyber security incident. After conducting this baseline assessment, UnitedLex consultants will tailor a security roadmap designed to minimize enterprise risks and offer additional practical guidance for implementing that strategy. This custom-designed strategy will incorporate:• Risk tolerance and risk reduction options• Continued development of practical risk management and incident response plans• Ongoing monitoring of the plan to measure its effectiveness and iterative adjustments as neededOnce your strategy has been agreed upon, UnitedLex will ensure your organization is prepared for any cyber security incident when it occurs. Because a high percentage of data breaches are the result from lack of employee awareness or unintentional errors, we also engage your employees in the areas of data security where their actions could lead to consequences—and transform them from liabilities to allies in protecting the organization from cyber threats.
