A small venture-backed Bay Area data security company retained us in an effort to gain visibility in Washington on Capitol Hill and to engage federal regulators. The company provided major financial services, healthcare and other large corporations with a turn-key data security solution specifically designed to enable these companies to guard against the danger of “insider threat” and “data leakage.” Over the course of our multi-year representation, we provided access for the client among top lawmakers on Capitol Hill and their staff to demonstrate support for pending data security legislation. Building political awareness and brand name for the company led to several company appearances before key committees at which the client CEO testified as to the nature of data security exposure in the private and public sector. Concomitantly, we introduced the client to the full breadth of federal regulators charged with safeguarding personal and national security sensitive information. Meetings with the regulatory community heightened awareness of the importance of “insider threat” and the effectiveness of our client’s IT solution currently available in the commercial marketplace. The company in turn leveraged its growing profile and validation in Washington into a successful sales and marketing program with established corporate clients, and ultimately was acquired by a leading data security company for close to $350 million.
