Cybersecurity and Data Protection

Carey Olsen is one of the only offshore law firms to offer focussed contentious and non-contentious data protection and information management services. Our experts regularly advise clients on local legislation governing the collection, processing and storage of data on customers, staff and suppliers to achieve a secure data management framework that complies with the law.

Clients value our active role in shaping new legislation in these specialist areas. We regularly advise clients on cybersecurity and data protection issues, including: international data transfers, policy, data mapping and pseudonymisation issues, the use of static IP addresses as identifiers, policies and terms and conditions of business, cookie usage, electronic marketing, the General Data Protection Regime (GDPR) and Privacy Shield and use of technology and its implications.

We also regularly advise on document retention, subject access requests, disclosure and information management issues arising in relation to regulated financial services entities.

Our clients are primarily financial services operations who instruct us because of our in-depth knowledge of financial services regulation. We also act for clients in the general commercial sector who appreciate our pragmatic, straightforward advice.
