Covering a record 60 major jurisdictions worldwide, the updated and expanded second edition of World Law Group’s Global Guide to Data Breach Notifications has been published, and can be downloaded free from its companion website, www.globaldatabreachguide.com.

One of the most geographically comprehensive guides available on this increasingly challenging topic, the new edition of the Global Guide to Data Breach Notifications provides essential and succinct information for companies confronted with a data breach in one or more countries. Each chapter is provided by a leading law firm in each country and provides answers to commonly asked questions, including what kind of personal data needs to be protected in each country, what companies must do when personal data is illegally accessed, stolen or lost, and when and how affected individuals and regulatory authorities need to be notified. The Philippine chapter was contributed by SyCipLaw partners Rolando V. Medalla, Jr. and Hiyasmin H. Lapitan.
