Why do data breaches matter?
To protect personal data and the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the GDPR (articles 33 & 34) requires public and private organizations to take measures to prevent personal data breaches.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as zero risk. That’s why each organization must also set up procedures to quickly respond to and fix security breaches that could impact personal data.
Personal data breaches represent a significant challenge for an organization’s brand image. They are getting increased attention in the media. An organization that allows a breach is often viewed as negligent and not to be trusted with personal data.
