Data Security Breach Reporting Form

A data security breach can happen for a number of reasons: Loss or theft of data or equipment on which data is stored, inappropriate access controls allowing unauthorised use, equipment failure, human error, unforeseen circumstances such as a fire or flood, hacking attack, ‘blagging’ offences where information is obtained by deceiving the organisation who holds it. Use this form to report such breaches.

The provider shall notify the personal data breach to the competent national authority no later than 24 hours after the detection of the personal data breach, where feasible. Detection of a personal data breach shall be deemed to have taken place when the provider has acquired sufficient awareness that a security incident has occurred that led to personal data being compromised, in order to make a meaningful notification as required under this Regulation.
