Feb 13, 2012 | 02:00 PM | 


IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian Data Breach Resolution, the vendor of choice for many Fortune 500 companies, announced today the launch of a mobile app that provides data breach prevention and resolution tips for legal, compliance and security professionals in the financial services, healthcare, government and small-business sectors. The free app is supported by Android and Apple mobile devices and also can be downloaded by simply calling **EXPN from mobile devices(1).

A recent survey(2) conducted by the Ponemon Institute and commissioned by Experian Data Breach Resolution found that prior to a data breach, fewer than half of the companies questioned had an incident response plan in place for customer data breaches. In fact, many professionals reacting to data breaches are confused about what steps to take.

"This app was developed for individuals who unfortunately have to deal with the chaos of a data breach. It provides simple directions that enable efficient responses to both internal and external stakeholders," said Michael Bruemmer, vice president, Experian Data Breach Resolution. "The app is another great example of Experian's innovative data breach resolution leadership."

Once downloaded, the app prompts users to answer the following questions, providing suggested actions and/or tips.(3)

What should you do to prepare for a data breach? What are some steps you can take to prevent a data breach? What should you do in the first 24 hours of a data breach?
