Data Breach Course

Preparing for and Managing Data Breaches

In today’s digitally global commercial environments, many organizations anticipate not if, but when a data  breach will occur.

A data breach involving personal data can wield significant repercussions for an impacted organization.

These impacts may include being exposed to regulatory penalties and compensation claims from affected data subjects.

In many jurisdictions, organizations are now legally obliged to report a personal data breach to the relevant data protection authority unless it is improbable to adversely affect individuals. Furthermore, organizations have an additional responsibility to notify affected individuals when the breach is likely to pose a significant risk to them.
