EDPB Guidelines on data breach notifications

Guidelines 01/2021 on Examples regarding Personal Data Breach Notification

The Guidelines aim to assist data controllers in identifying breaches, assessing risks, and implementing appropriate measures, based on the collective experiences of EEA supervisory authorities since the GDPR's implementation. The guidelines cover breach categorization (confidentiality, integrity, availability), risk assessment, notification requirements, and appropriate breach mitigation measures. Additionally, the document provides fictitious case studies based on real experiences to guide controllers in assessing and handling various types of data breaches.
