FEATURE OVERVIEW

Record all the relevant information concerning a data breach/incident

Recording a Data Breach (or Incident)

The Data Breach Log allows you to record all data breaches or incidents. Record all aspects of the Breach (or Incident) including categories (and approximate number) of data subjects affected, the departments affected, any third parties involved in the breach, and the processing activities concerned.

Risk Management

Create a risk and rate it based on how serious you consider the data breach or incident to be for the affected individuals. Actions can be assigned to Data Champions across your organisation to mitigate against potential data breaches. That sounds like great Data Breach Management to us!

Ensure GDPR requirements are being met

Where the breach presents a risk to the affected individuals, organisations must report the breach to the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. PrivacyEngine will alert you if you miss this deadline and ensure that you never miss an important deadline.

"The PrivacyEngine™ functionality is constantly being reviewed and improved to keep up with current needs. It has proven to be a necessity in how hush manage and shape our responses to GDPR and data protection queries."
Channing Neale / Office Manager, hush
