A fast-evolving risk landscape

DRD’s cyber practice advises clients on fast-evolving digital risk landscapes, where decision-makers can face intense time pressure and regulatory scrutiny while implementing defensive strategies.

Effective communication is key to protecting reputations from unintended consequences and concerted attack.

We combine deep experience handling data breaches and other cyber-related crisis briefs, deploying careful analysis of issues and situations to secure real results for our clients. Clients benefit from continuous partner involvement in all matters, with teams drawn from major consultancies, government, the law, international corporates and charities.

In many sectors, cyber incidents are now a fact of everyday life. The arsenal at the disposal of threat actors, from state-sponsored machines to “lone wolf” attackers, continues to evolve at a rapid pace, boosted exponentially by the proliferation of AI.

As a result, clients must remain agile in their cyber risk planning, taking an integrated and strategic approach, while committing to regular reviews of processes in line with the changing threat landscape. DRD works with clients, their legal team and other advisors as they prepare for, respond to, and recover from data breaches.

Preparedness

How organisations prepare for cyber risk is crucial to protecting reputation and reducing costs when incidents occur. We advise clients on processes and protocols in order to understand the risk profile for a client and mitigate the reputational impact of an incident.

Active incidents

Once they hit, cyber incidents are characteristically fast-moving, with often complex webs of stakeholders and limited or uncertain information. DRD is used to rapidly responding to assist clients facing a sudden incident, working with them to map and prioritise their risk, create clear communications, protocols and materials, and anticipating the challenges which lie ahead.

Recovery

After the event, we work with the client to ensure any lessons are learned and to develop a programme of broader reputational support to mitigate incident impact and preserve value.
