The threat of cyber attacks and other security incidents looms over all organisations. There are simply too many things that can go wrong – whether it’s a cyber attack, a technical malfunction or another delay – to assume that operations will always be functional.
The GDPR and the NIS Regulations
Failure to implement adequate response protocols could therefore not only endanger your organisation’s long-term productivity but also lead to substantial penalties. Breaches of the NIS Regulations can attract fines of up to £17 million, and the stakes are even higher when it comes to the GDPR, with penalties reaching €20 million (about £17.8 million) or 4% of the organisation’s global annual turnover – whichever is greater.

This includes implementing an incident response plan to contain any damage in the event of a data breach and to prevent future incidents from occurring.
Doing so also helps you comply with Article 33 of the Regulation, which requires organisations to contact their supervisory authority if they suffer a breach that poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
