Organisations that admit their role in a data breach and plead guilty to it may get a lower financial penalty from the privacy watchdog if the cause is a common breach.
Common breaches include URL manipulation, poor password management or printing errors resulting in incorrect recipients.

The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) said in a statement yesterday that it is aware that even well-prepared organisations may not eliminate all risk of data breaches.
They can now avoid a full investigation by requesting an undertaking option from the PDPC in the event of a data breach.

This may be granted if the organisations can prove they had in place "proper accountability practices, monitoring and remediation plans" in the case of a data breach.
