DOJ Data Security Program Task Force

Gibson Dunn’s DOJ Data Security Program Task Force brings together experts from its National Security, White Collar Defense and Investigations, Cybersecurity, International Trade, and Corporate Governance practices to provide clients with holistic, practical advice on how to identify, assess, and manage potential obligations under the Department of Justice’s recently enacted regulations governing bulk U.S. sensitive personal data and U.S. government data.

Our team, which includes former senior government officials, leaders of in-house legal departments, and experienced white collar defense counsel, provides actionable advice on how to address – and demonstrate compliance with – these new requirements while balancing obligations under other U.S. and global privacy, security, and trade frameworks.
