Roses are red, Data breaches make me blue. I think some updates to your breach plan May be long overdue. Fall back in love with your incident response plan with three tips: 💘 Update your plan to take into account the reporting, notification, mitigation and recording requirements concerning "confidentiality incidents" in Quebec's privacy legislation and accompanying regulations. 💘 Ensure that your plan is prescriptive and reflects your organization's current legal obligations and structure, the types of personal information your organization may be handling, the systems and technology your organization uses, your current service providers and the particular risks that your organization may face. Plans that are too general or out-of-date won't serve as useful roadmaps in the event of a breach. 💘 Include a list of pre-selected, pre-vetted vendors (or instructions on how to access this list), including your organization's cyber insurer, forensic investigator, legal counsel and communications professionals.

What should you do if you suspect a breach? Ever had that sinking feeling that your personal information or company data may have been compromised? If you feel your personal information has been stolen in a data breach, you must act promptly. The initial step should be to contact the firm or organization that was compromised to learn more about the event. They should be able to tell you what data was compromised, what efforts they are doing to rectify the issue, and what safeguards you should take to protect yourself. In addition, keep an eye on your financial accounts and credit reports for any questionable behavior. Staying aware and taking proactive efforts to protect your information can help reduce the effect of a data breach on your personal and financial security.
