Privacy Compliance: Data Breach Process (Resources)

Description

A suspected data breach is stressful enough without also trying to figure out what you’re legally required to do about it. This free flowchart cuts through the confusion, giving you a clear, visual, step-by-step process to follow the moment you suspect something’s gone wrong.

Under the Notifiable Data Breach Scheme, privacy entities must assess suspected data breaches and notify the OAIC and any affected individuals where the breach is likely to result in serious harm. This flowchart helps you work through that assessment with confidence, so you know exactly where you stand and what to do next.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• A clear, easy-to-follow flowchart covering the full assessment process
• Guidance on when notification to the OAIC is required
• A practical first step if you’re building out your organisation’s privacy compliance
