- Documented breach identification, recording and notification procedures with timings · Policy repository / GRC workspace
- Breach record template carrying every required field, and completed records or exercise output · Document repository
- Where the organization is a processor, contract clauses on notification content and response times · Vendor register / contract repository
First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- No decision step between event and breach, so either everything escalates or nothing does
- Notification timings written into procedure but never tested against a clock
- Breach records missing the description of what personal data was compromised, which is the field a regulator asks for first
- Processor contracts silent on notification content, so the controller cannot notify on time
- Notification treated as a legal task started after technical containment finishes, consuming the whole deadline
