Critical Response
Data Breach
Management
When a breach occurs, the clock starts. Survive the critical 72-hour window under Article 33 GDPR with immediate, strategic legal intervention that protects your organization's reputation and financial standing.
The 72-Hour Legal Reality
A data breach is an operational crisis; mishandling the notification is a legal catastrophe. Under the GDPR, the way you respond to a breach heavily influences the severity of the subsequent regulatory fine. Covering up or delaying notification violates Article 33 and invariably multiplies sanctions.
Statutory Framework: Articles 33 & 34
Relevant Legal Provisions
- Article 33: Notification to the supervisory authority
Must be done without undue delay and within 72 hours. Must describe the nature of the breach, approximate numbers of data subjects, consequences, and mitigation measures. - Article 34: Communication to the data subject
Required when the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
