There were two personal data breaches reported within my Department in 2019.

The breaches were dealt with in accordance with the GDPR and the Department of Health Breach Management Policy.

Following risk assessments, the breaches were not notified to the Data Protection Commission. All personal data breach incidents are reviewed to prevent reoccurrence and recorded in the Department’s Breach Log.
