Once the breach has been effectively triaged, the SafetyIQ Data Protection Officer is appointed to communicate the data breach to those impacted, to advise what the breach was/is, who has been impacted, how they may be impacted and if at that time, a resolution to resolve the breach has been deployed or actioned.  The timeframe for disclosure of the data breach to the respective parties is within 72 hours of the breach having been identified and assessed.
