Data Protection Incident Support

Why do you need support for handling data protection incidents?

A data protection incident occurs when the security (confidentiality, availability, or integrity) of personal data managed by your company is compromised. In a corporate environment, typical examples include sending emails to the wrong recipient or losing a USB drive, but there are many other, less obvious situations that may also qualify as data protection incidents.

Quick detection and appropriate response are critical, as improper handling can lead to significant data protection fines. Additionally, the GDPR imposes strict deadlines for reporting incidents to the authorities. Timely detection is also key to minimizing damage to the individuals affected and to your own organization. Mishandled incidents can result in the loss of clients and reputational harm.
