The penalties for a data breach can be severe. There have been many thousands of GDPR breaches reported each year (see here for more details), and when fines have been imposed, they've ranged per company from a few thousand Euros to multi-millions. For an up-to-date list of penalties imposed refer to the GDPR Enforcement Tracker. As of June 2021, nearly 300 million Euros in fines have been levied.

The TeamMacro TERSM for Data Protection service will help your organization identify potential breaches early. It enables you to comply with EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and indeed, other similar regulations around the world. With it you can assemble the right (virtual) team to track and manage data protection breaches - from the initial collection of potential breach information, to its analysis and findings.

The risk of data breaches is increasing dramatically, especially since the increase in remote working where data can be less protected than ever before. No company is safe, and if you have yet to experience a data breach, you are living on borrowed time. With in excess of 100,000 breaches reported annually, don't get caught out.

TeamMacro TERSM for Data Protection is an online service that will help your organization identify the risk and then meet the deadline, required by law, for reporting data protection incidents to the relevant authorities - 72 hours. Perhaps the most onerous part of GDPR is this reporting requirements. Therefore, once a data breach incident has been reported, it becomes essential to have automatic notifications sent to the staff responsible. TeamMacro TERSM for Data Protection tracks your data protection incident progress and identifies what is left to be done and when it needs to be reported formally to authorities.

The process of reporting the details of a suspected breach, analyzing the report and assessing its impact, and then making the formal notification to the authorities, must all happen in this 72 hour time-frame (which of course includes weekends and non-work days).TeamMacro TERSM makes this process more manageable and can significantly reduce the risks of fines or sanctions. Amongst the criteria used by authorities for assessing the severity of a breach and minimizing them are organizational preparedness, proactive and rapid notification, demonstrable efforts made to mitigate the effects and high level of cooperation in the investigation. Using TeamMacro TERSM for Data Protection as part of your data protection program helps demonstrate you commitment to compliance.

The TeamMacro TERSM insights, analytics, and reporting module harnesses the power of the incident data your team collects. Your team will be able to view the information they collect in many useful ways. Regular reports and interactive dashboards will expose key information and trends to support your risk and security strategies and actions. In TeamMacro TERSM for Data Protection we provide two reports specially tailored to the data protection requirement. One shows progress against the deadline, and the other has key performance indicators. These can be applied at any level in the organization. The progress report shows the status of every data protection event so that you can see at a glance how many are still outstanding on their 72 hour journey to resolution and what actions need to be taken. The Key Performance Indicator report measures at each level in the organization, their historical performance via KPI's. It shows how well were events resolved, if they were in time, and the resulting financial impact of the outcomes.

While a selection of typical reports and dashboards are initially provided to you, this set can be extended to include more specialized views of your data. With TeamMacro TERSM you will spot trends in all areas of incident management, not just data protection. For example, criminal activity, health and safety, or environmental disaster. TERSM provides flexible analysis and is self-service without needing any knowledge of the underlying data structures.

Ultimately it is the decision of the data controller, with advice form the team, as to what actions should be taken.
