What is a data breach
A data breach is a security violation that causes, accidentally or unlawfully, the destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure of or unauthorised access to personal data. It can result from a cyberattack, but also from human error, such as an email sent to the wrong recipient.
For a company in Como or Milan the topic concerns the website too: forms, reserved areas and databases contain users' data. This page is for information only: for your specific case, check with your legal advisor or DPO.
The forms a breach can take
The categories describe what happens to the data, not the seriousness of the event.
In case of a personal data breach you contain the incident, work out which data is involved and immediately inform your legal advisor or DPO, who assesses the communications required. NewVisibility's technical team in Cantù steps in on the site, for companies in Brianza, Como and Lugano.
The data collected by the website is found in the database, on the server, in backups and in any connected services such as newsletter, CRM or management software. The websites of NewVisibility, an agency in Cantù (Como), are hosted on our own managed servers; the privacy notice should be defined with your legal advisor or DPO.
Only people authorised by the controller can access the data collected by the website, with separate profiles, personal passwords and permissions limited to their role. In projects for companies in Cantù, Como and Milan we configure access; who should have it is decided by your legal advisor or DPO.
To check suppliers that process data you start from a list: who they are, what data they process, where they are located and with what measures. The framework is defined by your legal advisor or DPO; we, in Cantù, provide the technical basis for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.
The right to be forgotten is the possibility, in the cases provided by law, to request the erasure of your personal data. It is not absolute and may coexist with other retention obligations. For a company website in Como or Milan you need to know where the data is; every assessment is up to the advisor.
