Preventing and Managing Cyber Breaches: A Legal Guide for UK Businesses

A cyber breach can halt operations, expose customer data and trigger reporting duties within 72 hours. Attacks on well-known UK businesses show how fast an incident escalates.

This free guide covers how to prevent and manage cyber breaches, with a focus on incidents involving personal data.

We cover:

  • what UK law requires, including UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018;
  • the difference between a cyber breach and a personal data breach;
  • governance, insurance and supply chain risk;
  • building a cyber incident and data breach response plan; and
  • ICO notification rules and the 72-hour deadline.
