Madeline Gitomer works with legal counsel and privacy officers to navigate the regulatory landscape for organizations responding to cyber attacks and data breaches. Whether it is life sciences, education technology, digital health, or technology-driven startups, Madeline regularly advises clients on compliance with various data privacy laws, regulations, and public policy initiatives.

Drawing from her Capitol Hill experience, Madeline understands the legislative and regulatory environment around health and education privacy and helps clients in responding to a dynamic and evolving legal landscape. Organizations in crisis reach out to Madeline for skills in managing incident response, evaluating breach notification requirements, and responding to government investigations and enforcement actions. Against increased government scrutiny and an active enforcement environment, Madeline advocates on behalf of clients in outlining their reasonable compliance efforts in the face of rising numbers of hacks and cyber attacks.

Madeline regularly counsels clients on compliance with data privacy and security laws and regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the FTC Act, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and state laws and regulations.
