The numbers of data breaches recorded by my Department, since 2016, are as outlined in the table below. It should be noted that no records of data breaches were maintained before this time. The current operational procedure is that the majority of low-risk data breaches are not reported to the Data Protection Commission (DPC) in line with DPC guidance on this issue.

2017 10
2018 35
2019 50
2020 54
2021 84
2022 62
