Handle the breach. Notify properly. Limit the damage.
Attorney-led data breach response. We triage the incident, assess your notification duties across the relevant regimes. GDPR's 72-hour window, US state laws, India DPDP, and the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, and prepare the regulator and data-subject notifications inside the statutory windows. We coordinate forensics under privilege and close with a post-incident review. We provide the response and the notifications; the regulator decides the outcome.
From $1,500 Quoted per incident after a triage call
We accept the engagement on a call and privilege attaches immediately. Within hours we send the initial triage memo: what we know, what we still need to find out, which statutory deadlines are running, and the immediate containment steps.

Notification preparation
We prepare the regulator and data-subject notification drafts inside the relevant windows. GDPR 72 hours, the HIPAA 60-day clock, US state-specific thresholds, and the India DPDP Board notification. You review and approve before anything is sent.
3
Remediation and post-incident review
We coordinate the forensics provider under privilege, set out a remediation plan, and deliver a lessons-learned review. One month of post-incident advisory is included so the fixes land.
What it costs
Quoted per incident, with the clock in mind
Data Breach Response starts from $1,500. Every incident is quoted per incident after a triage call, and scales with scope and the number of jurisdictions involved. GTC's response fee renders as the live anchor above and is confirmed in writing before work begins. A multi-jurisdiction breach or a regulated industry such as healthcare or financial services is scoped accordingly, and an optional readiness retainer locks in our availability ahead of any incident. Forensics and any government fees are passed through at cost.

Get started
Plan your data-breach response
Tell us about your systems and your data, and a GTC attorney will scope your breach-response plan, or triage a live incident, and email you a per-incident quote.
If a breach is in progress, say so in your message and send what you have. The statutory clocks may already be running, and we move on engagement rather than waiting for a kickoff call.
Regulatory windows are short and unforgiving. GDPR gives you 72 hours. We start on engagement and send the initial triage memo within hours, so the statutory deadlines are mapped before they pass.
Privileged work product
Full attorney-client privilege attaches on engagement. We structure the forensics engagement as a sub-engagement under our work-product privilege, which protects the forensic report from compelled disclosure in later litigation.
Multi-jurisdiction notification
One breach can trigger duties under GDPR, several US state laws, India DPDP, and HIPAA at once. We map the overlapping windows and thresholds and prepare each notification to the right regulator and the affected data subjects.
Fees disclosed up front
Quoted per incident after the triage call, with the scope and jurisdictions set out before work begins. GTC's response fee renders as the live anchor on this page; forensics and any government fees are passed through at cost.

In their words
All your legal, in one place.
One accountable team for every service, operating since 2016.
We aim to take the engagement within an hour and send the initial triage memo within a few hours of engagement. For clients on a pre-arranged response retainer, we typically start within thirty minutes because we already hold your data inventory and notification posture.
It depends on the data, the jurisdictions involved, and the regulatory regime. GDPR requires regulator notification within 72 hours and notification to data subjects without undue delay where there is high risk. US state laws set varying thresholds, some with encryption safe harbours. India DPDP requires notification to the Data Protection Board. We map exactly who must be told, and by when, in the triage memo.
Yes. Full attorney-client privilege attaches on engagement. We structure the forensics engagement as a sub-engagement under our attorney work-product privilege, which helps protect the forensic report from compelled disclosure in later litigation. Privilege is a strong protection, not an absolute one, so we structure the engagement carefully.
No. The regulator decides whether enforcement or a penalty follows, and no firm can guarantee that outcome. What we do is handle the response properly: triage on the clock, notify the right regulators and data subjects inside the statutory windows, document the steps you took, and stand with you through the regulator's review. A prompt, well-documented response is the strongest position you can be in.
It is worth considering if you handle sensitive personal data at scale. A response retainer locks in our availability, gives you a known engagement structure before an incident hits, and means we already hold your data inventory and notification posture when the clock starts. The optional retainer renders with the live pricing on this page rather than as a fixed figure here.
After the notifications are out and remediation is underway, we deliver a lessons-learned review: what happened, how it was handled, where the gaps were, and the concrete fixes to close them. Where the incident traced back to a weak vendor contract or a missing breach plan, we flag the upstream fix so the same gap does not recur. One month of follow-up advisory is included to keep those fixes on track.
Tell us about your systems and your data. We will scope a breach-response plan now or triage a live incident on engagement. Mapping the statutory deadlines, preparing the regulator and data-subject notifications inside their windows, coordinating forensics under privilege, and closing with a post-incident review. We provide the response and the notifications; the regulator decides the outcome.
