Jon Neiditz

In April 2013, Jon Neiditz brought his big data, privacy and information security practice to Kilpatrick Townsend, a firm that has become one of the leading information law firms in the world. Jon has led information management practices at law and Big 4 consulting firms. Examples of Jon’s work include:

• Regular management of responses to data security breaches - including the largest governmental data breach on record - that turn these incidents not into crises but into trust-building customer service encounters:
    - Through handling multiple breaches every week since 2005, he has developed an approach that has helped his clients avoid customer losses, brand damage and lawsuits, and even improve customer trust following breaches
    - This approach is proving critical as the worldwide rapid increase in the frequency and sophistication of both attacks and their detection is making data breaches and security fundamental components of customer relationship management
• Global privacy and information security counsel to private and public sector organizations
• Assistance in formulating “big data” plans, including:
    - Contracts that value and protect newly-defined data assets in new ways, and
    - Records, information management and electronic communications programs that combine defensible disposal of many types of data with “lakes” of big data
• Assistance in “privacy by design” initiatives in the development of hardware and software and their user interfaces
• Assistance in innovation in cloud computing, mobile payments, mobile health, electronic documents and records, and many other areas of sustaining and disruptive innovation

We understand what big data tools can do and how they do it, and participate in software and hardware design to make "privacy by design" more than a slogan. Together, we help you:

• Protect the lakes of your data in which you want to fish,
• Take better advantage of the ocean of information on the internet, and protect your interests in what you create from it,
• Change the ways you relate to your customers and other constituents, as you collect, keep and use more information, in part through close collaboration between the privacy and security lawyers and the lawyers closest to the innovation in technology, and
• Manage privacy, security and related risks and opportunities, helping you become “antifragile” to security breaches.
