Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Counsel for Domestic and Cross-Border Obligations
Now, more than ever, a business must not ignore its obligations to include proper protections in its business plan, including the right policies for compliance, security, and data breach response protocols. A business needs to take a holistic view of its data security needs in order to protect enterprise value.
Pruvent has counsel with experience in incident response, advising on security incidents, data breach matters, data privacy laws (domestic and abroad), negotiating agreements that include a cybersecurity component, and advising on crisis communications for urgent incident response situations.
Data privacy laws now exist in almost every jurisdiction. Your company must know the rules on retention, security and destruction, and incident response for patient, payor, employee, and other protected data.
Before, During, and After a Data Incident
Pruvent PLLC advises companies on cybersecurity and data privacy across the full lifecycle: building compliance programs, negotiating data-use and data protection agreements, responding to incidents, and managing crisis communications. The firm helps clients navigate state privacy statutes, including the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, as well as federal frameworks and cross-border data obligations, and drafts the agreements that govern how data moves between businesses, vendors, and platforms.
What should we do first after a suspected data breach?
Engage counsel promptly, before broad internal communications begin. Early involvement of counsel helps structure the investigation, preserve privilege where available, meet notification deadlines, and coordinate forensic and communications vendors.
Which privacy laws apply to a Minnesota business?
A Minnesota business may be subject to the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, which took effect July 31, 2025, to other states' privacy statutes when it serves customers in those states, and to federal and sector-specific rules such as HIPAA or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act depending on the data involved. Pruvent identifies which frameworks apply and builds a compliance program sized to the business.
Does Pruvent draft data processing and data-use agreements?
Yes. Pruvent drafts and negotiates data-use, data processing, and data protection agreements for domestic and international relationships, including agreements with parties in other countries.
