Steps to Always-On Availability. Note that data not being available (and impact on people) is a GDPR Breach

Key points

2017 saw a sharp increase in ransomware attacks, from the Wanna Decryptor with a reported 100,000 organisations across 150 countries attacked within 24 hours of the first attack, to NotPetya, a ransomware reported to be even more lethal than WannaCry. As ransomware continues to evolve, it is now more vital than ever for enterprises around the world to mitigate security breaches.

A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, LOSS, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This includes breaches that are the result of both accidental and deliberate causes. It also means that a breach is more than just about losing personal data.

A personal data breach can be broadly defined as a security incident that has affected the confidentiality, integrity or AVAILABILITY of personal data. In short, there will be a personal data breach whenever any personal data is lost, destroyed, corrupted or disclosed; if someone accesses the data or passes it on without proper authorisation; or if the data is made UNAVAILABLE and this unavailability has a significant negative effect on individuals.
