Data Security Attorney in Seattle, WA

Data security obligations for Seattle companies now come from WA law, federal sector regulations, contractual commitments to customers, and cross-border frameworks when you serve international users. Washington’s business climate rewards founders who build carefully. The state has no personal income tax but applies a business and occupation (B&O) tax that catches companies off guard. Washington also enforces some of the strictest non-compete rules in the country, tight wage and hour protections, and distinct data privacy expectations under the My Health My Data Act and related legislation. Foundry Law Group builds written information security programs, incident response plans, and vendor DPAs for Seattle businesses across tech, cloud, aerospace, retail, life sciences, and clean energy.

Privacy laws

Regulatory Landscape You Actually Have to Meet

State privacy laws, federal sector-specific regimes (HIPAA, GLBA), FTC enforcement on unfair and deceptive practices, and international frameworks like GDPR all reach US companies at different trigger points. Compliance programs that try to hit every framework at once tend to hit none of them well. We help you identify which laws actually apply and build a program that meets those requirements.

Breach

Incident Response and Breach Notification

When a security incident happens, the clock starts immediately. Notification deadlines vary by state, by regulator, and by contract. Mishandling the first 72 hours after discovery often matters more than the incident itself. We run tabletop exercises, draft incident response plans, and serve as outside counsel when incidents actually occur.

Breach notification deadlines vary across Washington, Missouri, Kansas, and the many other states where your users sit. We build incident response runbooks tuned to every applicable deadline so the clock does not get away from you.

Vendro security

Vendor Security and DPAs

Third-party vendors are one of the most common attack vectors and one of the most common sources of compliance failures. Vendor diligence, security addenda, and data processing agreements manage that risk. We help you scale vendor review without slowing the business down.
