Global Breach Notification Services and Retainer Options

In today’s global economy, where data can traverse many jurisdictions, your organization may be required to comply with a patchwork of stringent notification regulations. Kroll’s data breach notification solutions—drafting compliant letters, full-service mailing help, alternate notifications for large breaches, including call centers staffed by multilingual representatives—take the burden off your organization.

*Notification and call center services fulfilled out of one of our international offices via international postage and an extended-hours or 24x7 call center.

Kroll has extensive relationships with over 50 cyber insurance carriers, and the quality and breadth of our offerings have been recognized by leading independent third parties, including Gartner, Forrester Wave and National Law Journal Best of Surveys. For additional peace of mind, Kroll offers client-friendly notification retainers that are designed to offer maximum flexibility. They also include an array of proactive services that ensure you get tangible value. 

Our breach notification specialists have assisted clients across diverse industries with their notification responsibilities. As such, we understand how different industries, especially highly regulated ones, have distinct obligations and varying risk levels. We’ll help you and your counsel draft data breach notices so that your messages are timely, cost-effective and appropriate to the sensitivity of the data and audience involved.

If sending notification letters isn’t suitable or possible, Kroll offers alternative notification methods. Working with your legal counsel, PR agency/communications team, or other members of your response team, Kroll can facilitate distribution of email notifications or public notifications in instances where contact information is not known, or the population is too large for print notification. Kroll can also create separate FAQ documents in multiple languages and/or build a notification-specific microsite to help facilitate the notice to the public and, where applicable, to assist in monitoring services enrollment.
