Data Breaches & Privacy Complaints

Who this is for

Organisations needing to implement a Data Breach Response Plan, deal with a data breach, or investigate a privacy complaint.

What is included

• Template: Data Breach Response Plan
• Checklist: Handling a Privacy Complaint
• eLearning Module: Notifiable data breaches

How to use these resources

Every organisation needs a way to manage data breaches, including the mandatory notification requirements.  Start with the template Data Breach Response Plan, which includes instructions to quickly customise the template to suit your organisation.

The template Plan:

• has a quick flowchart guide for all staff
• defines for your staff what is a data breach, and who they need to report to if they suspect a data breach has occurred
• sets out a four-step response procedure for the Privacy Officer to follow
• allows for different steps according to whether the breach is high / medium / low risk
• calls out the additional obligations under EU and NZ law if those laws apply to your organisation
• includes a template for both internal and external reporting, and
• includes a template notification letter for affected customers.

The Checklist offers a nine step process to follow when handling a privacy complaint about a breach of the APPs, from initial acknowledgement of the complaint through to finalisation.  It includes an explanation of the principles involved in awarding compensation, and a table summarising all OAIC determinations in which compensation was ordered.

This Kit also includes a training module to help you understand the Australian data breach notification scheme.
