Privacy Legislation: Notifiable Data Breach Assessment Process

OUR GIFT TO YOU

Our Notifiable Data Breach Assessment Process makes it simple, so you are prepared to assess and take the correct actions if or when you have a suspected data breach in your Practice. In some instances it may be clear a breach has occurred: in the case of sensitive information being sent to an incorrect email address, in some instances it can be more complex, such as a tradesperson or cleaner having access to, and accessing unlocked patient files.

This flow chart will assist when:

  • You suspect that there has been a data breach in your Practice; and

  • Your goal is to ensure that you comply with the current privacy legislation, protecting your Practice from action being taken (including the risk of $2M in fines).

 The process will provide your practice with a simple and easy-to-follow guide for how to assess what actions to take when you suspect a data breach.
