Beazley expands data breach response team

Specialist insurer Beazley has appointed Rafael Sanchez as international manager of Beazley Breach Response Services (BBR Services), a team designed to coordinate data breach response.

Sanchez joins from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where he served as assistant general counsel and director for its UK business.

He has previously held senior legal positions at Morgan Stanley in London and Hong Kong and has also worked for Jardine Matheson.

“We’re excited to expand the reach of Beazley’s dedicated BBR Services unit to more international businesses as they adapt to new EU regulations, and other breach notification regulations being enacted around the world,” said Katherine Keefe, global head of BBR Services.

“Beazley’s data breach insurance is the only product on the market specifically designed to give businesses access to dedicated and experienced breach response managers to manage the technical, regulatory and financial impacts of a data breach from the moment of initial notification.”
