Data Breach Reporting
Step 2: Assessing the affected data

When reporting a breach to the Datainspektionen (Swedish Data Protection Authority), an organisation will need to be able to answer questions such as:

  • How many personal data records have been affected?
  • How many data subjects could be affected?

To adequately report a breach, you first need to know what personal data you hold, as well as how and where it is stored. Not knowing these things is a barrier to assessing the scope and impact of a data breach.

Mapping the data flows within your organisation will give you a complete understanding of all the personal data you process, as well as where and how you transfer it.
