Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle multi-jurisdiction data breach notifications?
We maintain current knowledge of breach notification requirements across GDPR, CCPA, and all 50 US state laws. We coordinate with your legal team to create jurisdiction-specific notifications that meet timing requirements, content mandates, and regulatory filing obligations while maintaining a consistent public narrative.
Can you manage communications during an active cyberattack?
Yes. We provide real-time crisis communications support during live incidents, coordinating with your security operations center, legal team, and law enforcement. We manage external messaging cadence to provide transparency without compromising forensic investigations or giving attackers operational intelligence.
How do you work with our engineering and security teams?
We embed a dedicated crisis liaison who translates technical details into clear public messaging. We attend incident response calls, review technical post-mortems for communicable insights, and ensure all public statements are technically accurate and approved by your CISO before release.
What if our CEO needs to testify before Congress?
We provide comprehensive testimony preparation including message development, mock hearings with hostile questioning, media training for camera appearances, and day-of support. We also prepare pre-hearing media strategies and post-hearing narrative management to control the coverage cycle.
How quickly can you help during a service outage?
Our technology crisis team can begin crafting status communications within 30 minutes. We maintain pre-built outage communication templates for common scenarios and can manage your status page, social media, and customer notification channels in parallel while your engineering team focuses on resolution.
Do you help with proactive cybersecurity positioning?
Absolutely. Between crises, we build your company security narrative through thought leadership placements, security blog content, conference speaking opportunities, and proactive media relationships with cybersecurity journalists. This pre-crisis credibility bank significantly reduces reputational damage when incidents occur.
