In the past year, several massive data breaches—impacting tens of millions of people—have exposed a troubling pattern: when legal, security, and forensics teams aren’t aligned, the fallout is faster, costlier, and harder to contain. In this episode of Data Xposure, host Justin Tolman talks with John Wilson, CISO at HaystackID and a veteran in digital forensics and incident response, to unpack how cross-functional silos can derail breach response—and what that means for organizations managing sensitive data in high-stakes environments.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why traditional forensic processes struggle in large-scale breaches—and how to fix them.
  • The real-world consequences of siloed legal, security, and privacy responses.
  • How to build forensic playbooks that support fast, compliant breach response across functions.

If your legal and security teams only align during a crisis, this episode might be your warning shot.
