The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) aims to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU). GDPR is part of UK legislation and will not be affected by the country leaving the EU. GDPR also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. GDPR aims primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU. Taking effect as from 25th May 2018, GDPR replaces data protection directive 95/46/EC of 1995

Our actions in the event of a data breach

The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) states that under the GDPR there is a requirement for organisations to report a personal data breach that affects people’s rights and freedoms, without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it.

If it is unlikely that there is a risk to people’s rights and freedoms from the breach, the ICO states that there is no requirement to report it to them. The threshold to determine whether an incident needs to be reported to the ICO depends on the risk it poses to people involved.

Should we be alerted to a data breach of any kind from our business operations we would treat it as a serious issue and take immediate steps to:

  • Investigate the claim
  • Discover exactly what data had been breached
  • Establish how the data breach had occurred
  • Assess the category of risk the breach poses in terms of GDPR criteria
  • Find out any fault or culpability that caused the breach to occur
  • Work out the processes required for recovery of the data
  • Review and initiate procedures to avoid such a data breach occurring again

The data that MPS & BBI Ltd habitually deals with does not come into the category of affecting people’s rights and freedoms. However, we would continually monitor data that we possess and assess any potential risks that it may constitute in this respect.

Subject to a data breach occurring, we would assess whether it came within the category of “affecting people’s rights and freedoms” and if we believed that it did, or might do so, would report it to the ICO as required by GDPR.
