Are your Insureds Lawyers, Health Care Providers, Financial Institutions, Government Entities, Wholesale or Retail business or something else that may be required to access, use, store and maintain data?  Are your Insureds domestic and internationally based?  This presentation will outline data retention laws, rules, regulations and proposed bills both domestically and internationally.  We will address procedures to store, access data, use, delete and destroy data.  We will also discuss what “reasonable” means in this context with the aim to assist you in spotting issues for Insureds at the point of sale, underwriting and claims handling level.  Careers in compliance are one of the fastest growing areas at present for good reason.  We hope you will leave with a new comfort level on what to look for in assessing these risks.

Payment card breaches happen every day, but they are not like any other breach because of the PCI DSS rules in place.  This panel is comprised of experienced professionals who navigate these issues daily.  The panel will describe in laymans terms:  How companies learn that they have been breached and the ways that these breaches occur The relationships involved in a payment card breach and how those parties interact during the process The liabilities associated with a payment card breach and how exposure is calculated How law enforcement can assist in an investigation

Companies make the same mistakes when responding to breaches.  Just as you wouldn't ask a podiatrist to perform cardiac surgery, your breach response team needs to be experienced with helping you through this type of crisis.  The panel will discuss common mistakes in responding to a breach during the forensics investigation, selection of cyber insurance, communication strategies, and dealing with regulators.  Unlike other breach response panels that focus on the laws, this panel will focus on best practices and highlight the common mistakes that companies, carriers, and consultants make during the breach response process.
