Data breach questions
answered
Q.How long do I have to report a data breach to the ICO?
Under UK GDPR, you must notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach — unless it's unlikely to result in risk to individuals. Our team helps you assess whether notification is required and what to say.
Q.What counts as a data breach?
A data breach is any security incident leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This includes ransomware, emailing data to the wrong person, lost devices, and hacked systems.
Q.What happens if I don't report a breach?
Failure to report a qualifying breach can result in ICO fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of global annual turnover under UK GDPR. We help you make the right decision quickly.
Q.How quickly can Coreitech respond to a data breach?
We operate a 15-minute critical response SLA. For data breaches involving personal data, we treat this as the highest priority given the 72-hour ICO notification window.
