Data Security Legal Counsel for Tech and SaaS Companies

Data security is no longer just an IT concern. It is a legal and business imperative. Customers, partners, and regulators increasingly expect businesses to demonstrate strong data protection practices. A data breach can trigger notification obligations, regulatory investigations, litigation, and lasting reputational damage. Foundry Law Group helps technology and SaaS companies build data security legal frameworks that protect their customers, satisfy compliance requirements, and reduce the business impact of security incidents.

Data Security Compliance Requirements

Depending on your industry, customer base, and the types of data you handle, your business may be subject to a complex web of data security requirements. These may include state data breach notification laws across all 50 states, industry-specific frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS, contractual security obligations in customer and vendor agreements, Washington State’s data breach notification law and the My Health My Data Act, and emerging federal cybersecurity requirements.

Foundry Law Group helps you map your compliance obligations and put the legal and procedural frameworks in place to meet them.

Data Security Policies and Contracts

Your data security posture is reflected in your policies and contracts. Customer agreements, vendor contracts, employment agreements, and internal policies all play a role in defining how your company handles, protects, and responds to incidents involving sensitive data.

Our attorneys draft and review data security provisions across your entire contract portfolio, including data processing agreements, security addenda, incident response obligations, and vendor due diligence requirements. We make sure your contractual commitments align with your actual security practices.

Data Breach Preparedness and Response

Despite best efforts, breaches happen. Having a legally sound incident response plan in place before a breach occurs can significantly reduce your legal exposure and operational disruption. State notification requirements vary in timing, content, and recipient, and failing to comply can compound the consequences of the breach itself.

Foundry Law Group helps you develop an incident response plan, advises on notification obligations when breaches occur, and represents your interests in any resulting regulatory inquiries or litigation.
