Data mining has increasingly become one of the largest expenses during a cyber incident, often leaving claims professionals with blown budgets and insured clients in high-risk scenarios when assumptions about their data (and what may lurk within) dictate the operationalized response towards providing notice to affected parties after a breach.

A lack of standards amongst breach coaches, claims professionals, and the vendors who consult on and perform data mining work has resulted in an unmanageable situation for insurers, despite there being repeatable, defensible methods to stage, understand, and act on sensitive data utilizing workflows that are established in the scientific method and eDiscovery in general during litigation.

This session will highlight the risks of over and under notice of effective individuals in a cyber incident and will discuss key checkpoints ahead of and throughout the data mining process, while will giving claims professionals a new understanding of the types of levers they should be pulling internally at their organizations, and with their partners to optimize, manage, and establish repeatable processes with a special focus on the below underlying themes:

* Whether to provide individual notice under data breach law requires understanding some key facts: whose data is at issue? Where are they (in what jurisdiction)? What data is at issue? How (and to what degree) was the data compromised.

* When unstructured data is compromised, this requires identifying the who, where and what of the data through cyber review. Making assumptions about the data (even informed assumptions based on SMEs) will inevitably lead to over and under inclusive notice. PII and PHI can creep into places (and be missing from others).

* Over notice creates risk as it inflates the scope of the breach unnecessarily damaging the brand and making the incident more attractive for litigation.

* Under notice is worse as it can lead to questions about the sufficiency and completeness of the notice and remediation steps. Attacking the completeness of the notice allows plaintiff counsel to open a new front in their litigation.
