Is your organisation well prepared to respond appropriately to a data breach incident? How can you effectively mitigate the threat of loss or damage arising from cybercrime? Part of your planning for future cybersecurity risks should include having a data breach response plan in place.

By pre-establishing who will be a part of any response team, your organisation can be well prepared to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to, the impact of a data breach incident while maintaining continuous business operations.

This template from Practical Guidance Cybersecurity, Data Protection & Privacy covers the key elements considering the Mandatory Data Breach Notification Rules and sets out high-level procedures that your staff and key personnel must follow in the event of a data security incident.

By developing policies and processes, providing data breach training and building a privacy-aware culture, your organisation can become more cyber-resilient and reduce the impact of cybercrime.
