Cyber Security And The Impact Of GDPR

On this edition of Business Connections Live Steve Hyland asks Mike Osborne, Executive Chairman of Databarracks and Linda Bazant, GDPR Specialist of LRB Consult Ltd about Cyber Security And The Impact Of GDPR

This hot subject is on everybody’s lips. But how will it effect the day to day running of businesses and what size business will be affected by GDPR.

How to protect your business and recovery from cyber threats – in simple, non technical language and your responsibilities to report a serious breach to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) form May 2018.

An introduction to cyber security – including what it is, types of how the threat landscape is changing and why crime is moving online.
How to get started with the Cyber Essentials Scheme.
What to do if you get hit – how can you limit the spread of the attack and minimise damage.
Your regulatory obligations – in the event of a breach (including GDPR).
How to recover infected systems using backup – to minimise downtime and reduce data loss.

On 25^th May 2018 all organisations will have a duty to report certain types of data breach to the relevant supervisory authority and, in some cases to the individual affected by the breach in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation also known as GDPR.

A notifiable breach has to be reported to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of the organisation becoming aware of it. In the light of the tight timescales for reporting a breach – it is important to have robust breach detection, investigation and internal reporting procedures in place. Failing to notify a breach when required to do so can result in a significant fine up to 10 million Euros or 2 per cent of your global turnover.
