A data breach response plan is a framework that sets out the roles and responsibilities involved in managing a data breach. Vokke has a policy to manage data breaches in line with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988.

This data breach response plan outlines definitions, sets out procedures and clear lines of authority for Vokke staff in the event that Vokke experiences a data breach, or suspects that a data breach has occurred.

This response plan is intended to enable Vokke to contain, assess and respond to data breaches in a timely fashion and to help mitigate potential harm to affected individuals. It sets out contact details for the appropriate staff in the event of a data breach, clarifies the roles and responsibilities of staff, and documents processes to assist Vokke to respond to a data breach.

The Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme requires organisations to notify when there is a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to any individual to whom the information relates. The purpose of this plan is to enable that assessment to be undertaken and for Vokke to meet its reporting obligations. Where a data breach is assessed as having occurred then the Data Breach Response Team will take action immediately.
