Data Breaches are taken very seriously within my Department and staff are provided with training on what to do in the event of a possible data breach. My Department has also developed a Data Breach Policy which all staff are made aware of; a log is kept of any breaches and actions taken as a result of these breaches.

I have outlined the number of Data Breaches within the timeframe requested by the Deputy in the following table.

Year Number of Breaches
2017 No record of Any Data Breaches with the Department found
2018 3
2019 9
2020 5
2021 (to date) 2
