Personal Data Breach

Within the context of the GDPR, a personal data breach is an incident that occurs when an individual experiences a security lapse that causes the accidental or deliberate destruction, alteration, loss, exposure, or unlawful access of personal information. In the event of a data breach, the data controller must alert the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.

This notification must specify the nature and category of the breach, the number of data subjects and records involved, the resulting impact, the measures proposed to mitigate risk, and the contact details of the data protection officer.
