Founder, CyberLegal
Nader Bakri is an experienced (7+ years) cyber law counsel who helps organizations turn complex security events into clear, defensible legal outcomes. At CyberLegal he leads incident response and breach counsel, coordinating privileged fact-finding, notification strategy (data subjects, partners, authorities), and regulator/CSIRT engagement. His advisory work covers GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and eIDAS2 readiness; contract frameworks (DPAs, SCCs, cloud terms, SaaS SLAs); cross-border transfers and SCCs with TIAs; and legally sound digital forensics, litigation holds, and eDiscovery. He routinely supports insurance coverage analysis and negotiations, aiming to reduce penalties, accelerate resolution, and document a regulator-ready compliance posture.

Our Approach
Playbooks, Not Just Advice
We don't just tell you what the law requires—we provide structured playbooks and decision trees so your teams know exactly what to do when an incident hits or a regulator asks questions.
Artefacts, Not Just Opinions
Compliance and incident response require documentation. We deliver audit-ready artefacts:
- DPAs and SCCs
- DPIAs and TIAs
- Records of Processing Activities
- Incident timelines and logs
- Forensic chain-of-custody
Communication Cadence
Incidents move fast. We set up structured check-ins (often daily during active incidents) and use your preferred communication channels (Slack, Teams, Signal) to stay in sync.
Why "CyberLegal"?
Cyber incidents don't respect borders. A ransomware attack on a SaaS company in Romania can trigger GDPR notifications in Germany, NIS2 reporting in France, contractual disputes with a US cloud provider, and insurance claims in the UK.
We're "CyberLegal" because we help you manage the global legal ripple effects of local cyber incidents.
