Privacy & Cyber Response

EY teams have assisted companies in responding to a range of cyber incidents including Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data thefts, business email compromises, ransomware attacks and credit card theft. The teams combine cybersecurity and computer forensic experience with traditional investigative approaches, including interviewing witnesses, interrogating data and examining physical and digital evidence to uncover all facts pertaining to a breach.

EY professionals are experienced in helping address regulatory inquiries and liaising with law enforcement authorities. As cyber breaches often span international borders, they tailor their procedures to the specific legal and regulatory requirements of each country involved in the investigation, including our work with external legal counsel. Find out more.
