Data breach response

To minimise the impact of a data breach as much as possible, it is important for every organisation that processes personal data to develop a data breach response plan.

This plan is activated when a personal data breach occurs so the situation can be quickly assessed to determine whether the notification requirement in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been triggered.

As the outsourced DPO, HewardMills works with clients to develop a tailored data breach response plan. Alternatively, we evaluate our clients’ existing plans and help enhance them. We support our clients in taking the following recommended actions:

  • Understand the flow of personal data through the organisation

  • Ensure that security measures for personal data protection are in place and periodically tested
  • Regularly conduct staff training and awareness
  • Put in place clear policies and procedures for handling personal data breaches
  • Create an environment where data protection is embedded in the culture of the organisation
  • Abide by the GDPR principles of transparency and accountability
  • Stay vigilant in an ever-changing landscape

HewardMills helps its clients comply with data protection regulations, including the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, local legislation (for multijurisdictional organisations) and cybersecurity laws, as well as with legal and regulatory requirements arising from emerging technologies such as blockchain.

We are a multidisciplinary team of data protection practitioners, lawyers, corporate governance specialists and cybersecurity experts, with a wealth of knowledge delivering data protection excellence to your organisation.
