A data breach occurs when the data for which your company/organisation is responsible suffers a security incident resulting in a breach of confidentiality, availability or integrity. If that occurs, and it is likely that the breach poses a risk to an individual’s rights and freedoms, your company/organisation has to notify the supervisory authority without undue delay, and at the latest, within 72 hours after having become aware of the breach. If your company/organisation is a data processor it must notify every data breach to the data controller.

The data of a plastic company’s employees has been disclosed. The data included the personal addresses, family composition, monthly salary and medical claims of each employee.

A hospital employee decides to copy patients’ details onto a USB and publishes them online. The hospital finds out a few days later. As soon as the hospital finds out, it has 72 hours to inform the supervisory authority and, since the personal details contain sensitive information such as whether a patient has cancer, is pregnant, etc., it has to inform the patients as well. In that case, there would be doubts about whether the hospital has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures. If it had indeed implemented appropriate protection measures (for example encrypting the data), a material risk would be unlikely and it could be exempt from notifying the patients.
