The Questions a Judge Will Ask You After a Data Breach

If you are breached and your case goes to litigation, you will likely be asked to demonstrate “due care” and that your controls were “reasonable.” Many are surprised to learn that a breach by itself does not constitute negligence in most cases. But judges will ask a set of questions that help them determine whether your controls were reasonable. These questions bear a close resemblance to information security risk assessments; they both try to balance the likelihood and impact of foreseeable threats against the burden of safeguards. This presentation will explain judicial balancing tests, how they relate to regulatory definitions of “reasonable” risk, and how to conduct risk assessments that prepare you to answer the tough questions before you need to be asked.
