backCybersecurity Docket has named four King & Spalding lawyers—Charly Helleputte, Robert Hudock, Phyllis Sumner, and Jarno Vanto—to its Incident Response Elite list, which recognizes “the best incident response lawyers in the business.”

She leads the firm’s Data, Privacy and Security practice and regularly counsels corporate boards, senior executives, and other clients on cybersecurity preparedness, emergency response, remediation, compliance, internal and regulatory enforcement investigations, and data breach and privacy litigation.

He guides organizations through regulatory compliance and investigations, AI governance, and technology and data transactions, including licensing and data transfer arrangements. He works with private equity sponsors and portfolio companies on privacy due diligence and deals involving regulated data.
