No business can ever completely eliminate risk. Having policies and procedures in place and ensuring that these measures are implemented can reduce regulatory risk. Incidents do occur, however, and it is crucial to ensure that a protocol is in place to deal with them in a professional and logical manner to protect the business and its people.
We can help you develop, implement and stress-test emergency response procedures, train your senior management and other relevant employees, and provide you with 24/7 support through the Rapid Response system wherever and whenever we are needed. All emergencies are different and will require differing immediate responses, not least to mitigate reputational risk. The links below provide a brief overview of some key emergency response actions following different types of incidents:
Confidentiality
Dawn raid
Fatality at work
Industrial dispute
Loss of personal data
Media relations
