These Guidelines support the UNE Governance Framework’s Information Governance functions and assist UNE in preparing for and responding to personal information data breaches in line with our obligations under The Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (PPIP Act) and Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1998. The objective of this Guideline is to describe UNE’s approach to reducing the risks associated with data breaches. The approach includes the immediate containment and mitigation of harm, evidentiary and reporting requirements, and future strategies to improve the management of personal information reducing the likelihood of breach reoccurrence. Within these guidelines: Part A defines data breaches and UNE’s responsibilities; Part B deals with a suspected data breach; and Part C deals with identifying and responding to a data breach.
