In 2019 there were nine data breaches identified in my Department. It was deemed necessary to notify the Data Protection Commission in three of these instances.

In all instances appropriate measures were taken to ensure a reoccurrence does not take place.

The Department has an internal Data Breach Policy and all staff are aware of their requirements concerning personal data and reporting breaches.
