What is a data breach?

A data breach is a security (or privacy) incident that meets specific legal definitions as per state and federal breach laws. Data breaches require notification to the affected individuals, regulatory agencies, and sometimes credit reporting agencies and the media.

What is the best way to prepare for a breach?

With the rampant escalation in cyberattacks, forward-thinking organizations are establishing proactive relationships with incident response partners. Preparing for a data breach before it happens is the best defense for your organization. This pre-breach preparation can often minimize costs and other damages from a breach.

What is the primary benefit of a breach response plan?

To contain costs and lessen the impact of a breach on your company, developing a data breach response plan will mitigate the impact of a data breach. If a breach does occur, a swift and thorough investigation as to what occurred and what data has been compromised is a critical first step. This will help you match your breach response to the severity of the incident.

What is Breach Response?

Breach response encompasses incident preparedness and the steps your business takes after a potential data breach has been detected. These steps include thorough detection, identification, and containment of the breach, as well as an appropriate and scaled response plan for the impacted population. A swift and thorough response can help mitigate the damages to your business and the impacted individuals.

Why is Breach Response important?

In today’s world of mounting cyberattacks, data breaches are inevitable. These breaches threaten the value, reputation, and integrity of your organization and leave your employees, customers, and members increasingly vulnerable to all forms of identity theft and privacy risks.
