Data breach management best practices

Data breaches can severely impact businesses, leading to a loss of customer trust, operational disruption, and regulatory penalties. The DPO Centre recommends that businesses adopt a well-rounded approach to data breach management, which includes establishing a dedicated response team and regularly reviewing data processing activities. Despite the increasing threat of cyber-attacks, research shows non-cyber incidents caused by human error still dominate data breaches. Building a company culture with strong data protection awareness and timely responses can significantly reduce breach impacts.
