  1. What Exactly Is A Data Breach? A data breach occurs where personal information has been accessed or disclosed without proper authorisation. If your organisation adheres to the Privacy Act 1988, it is your responsibility to notify anyone affected by a data breach in your organisation where there has been unauthorised access/disclosure of personal information that has the potential to result in serious harm (OAIC, 2020). Examples of a data breach can be as follows: Losing a device containing personal information about a client Having a device containing personal information about a client stolen A hacker accesses personal information about clients An email containing personal information about a client is forwarded/ sent to the wrong person. Proper security measures weren’t taken or weren’t in place to identify a client over the phone and then personal information was disclosed. Where this occurs, it is the duty of the organisation to notify the individual and provide recommendations to handle the data breach (OAIC, 2020).
