The 72-Hour Clock Why Breach Notification Timelines Are Getting Harder to Meet

The 72-Hour Clock: Breach Notification in Practice

When a possible personal data breach is reported, the facts are rarely complete. Information may be spread across teams, suppliers may still be investigating and decisions cannot always wait for a full picture.

Join Cate and Caine on Friday 13 November 2026 for a Data Protection Made Easy discussion about the practical pressures surrounding breach notification.

What Will We Discuss?

  • Recognising and escalating a suspected breach while the facts are still emerging.
  • Coordinating information from colleagues, suppliers and incident-response teams.
  • Keeping a clear record of decisions, questions and next steps.
  • Preparing people and processes before an incident happens.

Who Is This Session For?

DPOs, privacy practitioners, information governance teams and anyone involved in responding to a personal data breach.
