Hanna Hewitt thrives in a crisis, a skill she uses to counsel clients through cybersecurity incidents. Her clients range from early-stage to publicly listed companies, both in the UK and internationally. She has a knack for tracking the detail, overseeing, and helping keep multiple workstreams on track, seamlessly integrating with client’s internal incident response teams. She assists clients throughout the lifecycle of a cyber incident: helping with immediate response, working with forensic providers to eradicate and contain cyber threats, and advising clients on their regulatory and contractual obligations. At only two years qualified, she has managed over 20 large international incidents, often acting as the main point of contact for clients.
When not overseeing cyber incidents, Hanna also supports clients with cyber-risk management, both pre- and post-incident, to mitigate regulatory and third-party risk. She provides privacy advisory support and counsels her clients on the UK, EU GDPR, and other international data protection laws. Specifically, she advises clients on the implementation of privacy compliance strategies and documentation including in relation to international data transfers, cookie and tracking technologies and statutory transparency obligations.
