Data breaches: working with a mandatory notification scheme
Overview
Recent data breaches involving personal information have been headline news. These cases have highlighted privacy as a critical governance and compliance risk issue across public and private sectors. While it has been recognised for decades that privacy breaches can cause significant adverse outcomes for organisations, recent high-profile incidents and increased regulatory scrutiny have shone a light on potential scale of the adverse impacts of a privacy breach.
Organisations will almost inevitably need to deal with some form of data breach from time to time. They are “crisis” situations, and can be extremely stressful for officers and reputationally damaging for agencies.
The Queensland Government has flagged that a mandatory data breach notification scheme will soon be established. So what do the schemes involve? How can you prepare for a data breach? How should you respond when the worst happens?
This session, run by Eleanor Dickens and Sam Weston, draws on our extensive experience in assisting clients to prepare for data breaches, and managing them if and when an incident occurs.
