Breach notification helper
Question 1 of 4
Does the incident involve personal information your organisation holds?
Personal information is information about an identified or reasonably identifiable individual: customer records, staff files, health details, identity documents, contact lists.
Where the test lands
Answer the questions as they come.
The path adapts to your answers, the way the scheme's own test does. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Method

Where the engagement goes further
The helper walks the questions the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme asks and lands on the step they point to. It is general information and does not replace legal advice. Mid-incident, use the outcome as the prompt to get help.
