In today’s digital age, where every piece of information has become a valuable asset, protecting privacy, ensuring data security, and defending against cyber threats have become critical concerns for organizations across all industries.
Technological advancements have made it easier for companies to collect, process, and disseminate information globally. However, this progress is accompanied by increasingly complex and evolving regulations that impose stringent and frequently changing legal requirements. In this dynamic environment, organizations must ensure ongoing compliance with the law, promote adherence to privacy regulations, and swiftly adapt to legislative developments and regulatory interpretations – both domestically and internationally.
SFA’s Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice offers comprehensive and in-depth legal counsel in the field of data protection and privacy. We provide clients with up-to-date and relevant guidance on regulatory compliance, alongside the implementation of advanced technological solutions.
We focus on identifying privacy risks and tailoring legal and technological solutions that enable organizations to meet legal requirements while maintaining uninterrupted business operations. Our advisory services include, among other areas, information security compliance, the management and operation of SaaS-based services provided by or relied upon by the organization, and addressing evolving needs across related regulatory frameworks.
Our team supports client companies in preparing for and implementing compliance mechanisms aligned with privacy and data protection laws, including readiness for significant regulatory changes. For example, in light of recent legislative amendments – such as Amendment 13 to the Israeli Privacy Protection Act, which mandates significant operational adjustments for the business sector – we assist clients with a wide array of needs, including data flow mapping, reviewing and updating agreements with service providers, third parties, and internal stakeholders, drafting internal policies and procedures, and developing training materials to ensure compliance and effective implementation of internal governance.
Additionally, we provide end-to-end legal support throughout the data lifecycle – from advising on the development and implementation of Privacy by Design principles, to strategic guidance on privacy in digital services, and legal risk management in the context of data privacy and cybersecurity, including global operations and compliance with international frameworks such as the European Union’s GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act.
We also offer legal support and guidance in response to cyberattacks and data breaches, assisting in the development of incident response plans, strategic risk mitigation planning, and training for executives and staff to implement effective preventative measures.
