What are personal data breaches and why should we all care about them?
In this episode Kirsty Bougourd talks to Deputy Commissioner for the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Rachel Masterton, to find out more about what a personal data breach is and why the ODPA has changed the way they are reported.
Every 2 months the ODPA releases the number of personal data breaches reported in the Bailiwick. The way these are reported was changed from 1st January 2022 so that organisations can specify how the breach happened and explain the circumstances that led to the breach. They can also report what the outcome of the breach was, for example the accidental disclosure of personal data.
This means that there is more information available to tell the story behind the breach and reminds us that personal data has a human at the heart.
Rachel explains why these changes have been made and how they give us more information to help prevent breaches from happening in the first place. She also explains how breach reporting works alongside the other duties of the ODPA.
