Post-incident cyber governance review - Listed Transport Company
A listed company engaged Ashurst following a significant cyber and data breach incident. In parallel with an active litigation response, the client sought an independent, backwards‑looking assessment of the effectiveness of its cyber, privacy and risk governance frameworks, and a clear view of potential legal and regulatory exposure arising from the incident.
Our solution
Working closely with Ashurst’s litigation team, we conducted a structured post‑incident review focused on incident root causes and contributing factors. This included assessing board and management oversight, governance arrangements, policies and controls in place at the time of the incident, and how these operated in practice. We also delivered a targeted legal and regulatory risk analysis aligned to enforcement and dispute risk.
Client outcome
The client obtained a clear, defensible assessment of governance effectiveness and a prioritised view of legal and regulatory exposure, supporting regulator engagement, litigation strategy and future cyber and risk uplift initiatives.
