They’re innovative, efficient, empathic, enthusiastic, and 77% of them say they’d like to help charities and not-for-profits … yet only a small percentage actually do.

After some time in deliberation, the Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches) Bill 2016 became law on 23rd February 2018. The amendment established a mandatory data breach notification scheme in Australia. What is Mandatory Data Breach Notification? It's a scheme that requires all entities subject to the Privacy Act to notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and individuals who may be affected in the event of a data breach. The intention is to ensure that people have the opportunity to take steps to protect their personal information if a breach occurs. Put simply, if someone gains unauthorised access to your data, and your data contains personal or sensitive information, you are required to notify both the OAIC and the people whose information is stored in your system.Posted on 14/03/2018 by
