CLEVELAND, June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In one week, McDonald Hopkins LLC will host a data privacy Business Hour – "Somewhat prepared is NOT prepared" – featuring Special Agent Justin Root from the Office of Ohio Attorney General's Cyber Crimes Unit. The event will be on June 30, 2015, from 12-1 p.m. EDT at our Cleveland office, and will also be broadcast live via webcast for those who cannot attend in person.

Our 2015 Business Outlook Survey revealed that 70 percent of organizations believe they are only "somewhat prepared" for data privacy and cybersecurity hazards. "Somewhat prepared" is not enough to combat the privacy threats and expectations of regulators. We will explore the proactive measures your company should implement to minimize the risk of a data breach. Topics of discussion will include: creating a culture of privacy and security, assembling a team and plan for effective incident response, crafting a WISP, conducting a Breach Response Workshop, and more.

James J. Giszczak, chair of McDonald Hopkins' data privacy and cybersecurity practice, and Dominic A. Paluzzi of our data privacy and cybersecurity practice will join Justin Root in the panel discussion. You can register for the Business Hour on our website. If you cannot attend in person, you can register for the live webcast here.
