Every business knows that data protection is of the utmost importance, safeguarding important information from corruption, theft, or loss. In unfortunate circumstances, breaches in security can cause the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data.
In worst-case situations, GDPR breaches can carry an ICO fine of up to £17.5 Million or 4% of your total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.
If you’re experiencing a data breach, you need to consider the risk this poses to the rights and freedoms of the people whose data has been breached. Whether you do or do not have to report to the ICO, you will also need to keep a record of any personal data breaches.
Here at Acuity Reputation Management we are able to provide specialist outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services. Speak to one of our specialist data breach solicitors today.
