Maida advises clients on cybersecurity and privacy compliance in a variety of sectors, including defense, energy, transportation, government contracts, health care and manufacturing. As part of an enterprise-wide compliance approach to evolving and complex security risks and standards, Maida helps clients mitigate the risk of cyber incidents through practicing responses to cyber and physical security incident simulations and developing incident response and insider threat plans and programs. Clients rely on her for practical and creative advice on new and complex regulatory requirements and government standards to protect sensitive and proprietary information.

Maida regularly advises clients on developing legally compliant and efficient responses to data breaches and internal investigations and coordinates with technical experts after intrusions to conduct privileged forensic investigations. Her homeland security practice has a particular emphasis on critical infrastructure, chemical security, the SAFETY Act, and corporate compliance.

Maida also counsels clients on state data privacy laws. She has helped clients in a broad range of sectors stand up new and assess existing privacy programs, develop privacy policies and procedures, and comply with notification obligations in the event of a data breach.
