Overview

A personal data breach is defined as a security incident that has affected the confidentiality, integrity or availability of personal data. Personal data breaches happen on a regular basis and can have legal, financial and reputational consequences for the individuals and organisations involved.

Join our half-day masterclass: Identifying and Managing Data Breaches to gain the necessary skills and greater confidence to better identify and handle personal data breaches.

From developing a better understanding on what the law says to preventing breaches, gain a full set of data breach handling skills to avoid legal penalties from the ICO.

Leave the day with an action plan to help your organisation better identify and manage data breaches.
