Breach Response

The clock starts before you are ready

A personal data breach must be reported to the Data Protection Board and to affected people. The hard part is not the form — it is knowing within hours whose data was in the blast radius. This module answers that from your existing map.

What Breach Response does

Four capabilities that together close this obligation — and feed the same audit log every other module writes to.

Book a walkthrough
  • Blast-radius query

    Given an affected system, return the data categories and principal count in minutes.

  • Guided reporting

    Structured intake that produces the Board notification and the individual notice together.

  • Response playbooks

    Named roles, comms drafts and escalation paths agreed before an incident, not during.

  • Drill mode

    Run a tabletop exercise against real data without triggering real notifications.

  • Severity classification

    Structured triage that separates a reportable breach from an incident, with the reasoning recorded.

  • Notification tracking

    Who was notified, when, through which channel, and what the message said.

From zero to live breach response

  1. 11 day

    Define the playbook

    Named roles, escalation path and comms owners agreed while nothing is on fire.

  2. 2Instant

    Connect the map

    Blast-radius queries run against your existing inventory and data map.

  3. 32 hours

    Run a drill

    Tabletop exercise against real data, with no real notifications sent.

What changes on day one

Without Breach Response

  • Blast radius takes days of engineering queries
  • The notification is drafted under time pressure
  • Nobody has rehearsed the process

With Breach Response

  • Affected categories and counts in minutes
  • Board and individual notices generated together
  • Quarterly drills against real data

Common questions

Every personal data breach must be reported to the Data Protection Board and to affected data principals. There is no severity threshold below which you may stay silent.

What the 30 minutes looks like

  1. 0–5Your stack, in your wordsWhere data lands today, and who already owns it.
  2. 5–15One real flow, mapped liveWe connect a sample source and build the map on the call.
  3. 15–25Where you are exposedThe gaps we can see, ranked — including the ones you already knew.
  4. 25–30Effort and costWhat closing them takes, and whether we are the right answer.

If we are not the right fit, we will say so on the call rather than three follow-ups later.
