CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Regulatory and Compliance Advisory

DWG Next offers specialised legal support across the full spectrum of cybersecurity governance, regulatory compliance, and risk management. We interpret complex national and EU legal frameworks, enabling clients to align their cybersecurity posture with evolving legal and policy requirements. Our work encompasses the negotiation of technology-related contracts, structuring of liability frameworks, and facilitation of risk transfer mechanisms through insurance and indemnity arrangements. Clients rely on our counsel in preparing for, and responding to, cybersecurity incidents, including regulatory notifications and enforcement proceedings. We assist both private and public entities in meeting procurement and compliance obligations, particularly in the context of critical infrastructure and government-sector engagements. Our experts also address legal issues arising from data flows, digital sovereignty, and cross-border operations, ensuring that cybersecurity strategies are not only technically robust but also legally sound.

We provide support by:

  • Advising on EU and national cyber security laws.

  • Drafting and negotiating cyber security service agreements, technology licensing contracts, and software procurement arrangements.

  • Supporting clients in regulatory compliance audits and cyber security due diligence in corporate transactions.

  • Assisting with incident response planning, legal obligations for data breach notifications, and engagement with regulators.

  • Structuring liability provisions, indemnities, and insurance solutions for cyber security risks.

  • Advising on public procurement rules and compliance requirements for government and critical infrastructure cyber security contracts.

  • Providing legal guidance on cross-border data transfers, data sovereignty issues, and compliance with EU digital security policies.

  • Assisting in securing EU funding for cyber security projects, including legal structuring of bids and consortia agreements.

  • Representing clients in litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, and contractual disputes related to cyber security breaches.
