Data Breach Response Support

Why is professional handling of data breaches important?

A personal data breach occurs when the security of personal data processed by your organization is compromised — whether in terms of confidentiality, availability, or integrity.

Typical examples include sending an email containing personal data to the wrong recipient, losing a USB drive or company laptop, or even a seemingly harmless error that may still qualify as a data protection incident.

Rapid identification and appropriate response are critical because:

• under the GDPR, most breaches must be reported to the supervisory authority within 72 hours,
• delayed or improper handling may result in significant financial penalties,
• poorly managed breaches can lead to loss of customer trust and serious reputational damage.

Who do we recommend it for?

• Organizations requiring immediate expert support for an ongoing data breach
• Companies that do not wish to establish a full internal incident management framework and prefer to outsource this function
• Businesses seeking cost-effective yet reliable data protection support
• Organizations requiring complex information security, cybersecurity, and data protection solutions to investigate breaches or mitigate damage

What do we do?

• Support the development of internal incident response processes and help identify solutions to prevent future data protection incidents
• Assist with the configuration of software, network security tools, and other information security solutions
• In the event of a security incident, support the assessment of whether it qualifies as a personal data breach
• Evaluate the risks associated with the incident and determine the necessary corrective actions
• Where notification to the supervisory authority is required, we coordinate the process and assist with the preparation and submission of the notification
• If informing affected data subjects is deemed necessary, we prepare the required communication materials
• Prepare and maintain the mandatory data breach register
