Good morning everyone,
Currently, in the local authority I work, data breaches are handled by yours truly in liaison with the relevant senior managment of the affected area. My role essentially consists of analysing the situation and advising on immediate and longer term actions that can/should be taken by the business in order to ensure that damage is mitigated and the chance of a repeat incident is minimised as far as possible. Basically I advise on what actions should be taken to maximise/ensure DPA compliance, among other things.
My question, to anyone who performs a similar function or oversees someone that does, is what level of responsibility does the colleague that handles data breaches possess when it comes to the advice they provide? Do they advise the business area directly or is their advice signed off/ratified by their line management before being given to the business area responsible for the incident?
Any and all answers gratefully received either on or off list.
Thanks
Andrew Goodfellow-Swaap
