    • Identifying and avoiding potential risks such as ransomware, data breach, and lost hardware
    • Overview of the legal landscape (e.g. the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018)
    • Best practices for preparing for corporate client requirements letters
    • Using cyberinsurance to help mitigate the legal risk
