The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018. In January 2018, my Department appointed a Data Protection Officer as required under Article 37 GDPR and subsequently established a Data Protection Unit.

The table below sets out the number of data breaches recorded by my Department since the introduction of the GDPR. All breaches were dealt with in line with the Department’s Data Breach Management Policy and as required under Articles 33-34 of the GDPR.
