About the Governmental Practice Cybersecurity & Data Protection Team:

Cybersecurity and data protection have never been more important for government contractors and their vendors. Sheppard Mullin’s Governmental Cybersecurity and Data Protection Team understands the government’s approach to cybersecurity, in its own systems and those of its contractors. Our team combines experts in cybersecurity, data protection, data privacy, and government contracts law to provide unparalleled advice to companies that sell products and services to the government (whether directly or indirectly), as they face rapidly-changing cybersecurity standards and requirements from a variety of government agencies. With deep relationships to government officials, we are called on by some of the largest and most prominent government contractors to guide them through the maze of laws, standards, and agency regulations regarding cybersecurity and cloud computing and assist them with government-specific aspects of incident response.
