Preparing for the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme
Materials and resources provided by the OAIC
Data breach preparation and response — A guide to managing data breaches in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)
This guide consolidates information provided in our Data breach notification — A guide to handling personal information security breaches released in 2014, the Guide to developing a data breach response plan released in 2016, and the resources published to assist entities in complying with the NDB scheme last year. In doing so, it provides a valuable and convenient resource for staff involved in privacy compliance and data breach response.
Receiving data breach notifications
This resource for the Australian public provides guidance on what to expect when you receive a data breach notification, including how organisations might deliver notifications and when a privacy complaint can be made to our Office.
What to do after a data breach notification
This resource provides a wide range of actions you can take to reduce the risk of experiencing harm after a data breach. For example, it includes tips on combatting the harm that may result from a breach involving financial information, and steps you can take when you believe you may be a victim of identity fraud.
