The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018. My Department appointed a Data Protection Officer (as is required under Article 37 of the GDPR) and set up a dedicated Data Protection Unit that year
The table below sets out the number of data breaches identified by my Department since the introduction of the GDPR. All breaches were dealt with in line with the Department’s Data Breach Management Policy and as required under Articles 33-34 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All breaches have been closed/resolved.
