When does a personal data breach need to be reported to a supervisory authority?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The definitions of ''public authority'' and ''public body'' for the purposes of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 are found in the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Data Protection Act 2018 respectively. Section 7 of the Data Protection Act 2018 provides that a public authority or a public body is one that is listed in Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, or is designated by an order under section 5 of that Act. However, a court or tribunal acting in its judicial capacity is not considered a public authority or a public body under the Data Protection Act 2018.Reference:

Section 7 of the Data Protection Act 20181

Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000

D sounds a bit strange. Freedom of expression over privacy? Really?

I don't think the controller's freedom of expression is relevant here. It seems more about the potential harm to individuals, which makes me lean towards option C.

I feel like all breaches should be reported, but I think there are specific criteria that determine when it's mandatory. Wasn't there something about special category data too?

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I believe it was about assessing the impact of the breach on data subjects. That might relate to option C.

I think a breach needs to be reported when it poses a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only condition.

This is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure, but I think the correct answer is C. I'll double-check the information, but that's my best guess for now.

Okay, let me think this through. The key seems to be whether the breach poses a risk to people's rights and freedoms. I'll focus on that when deciding which answer to choose.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. Do we have to report all personal data breaches, or just the ones involving special category data? I'll need to review the details again.

I'm a little unsure on this one. My first instinct was to say the btool.log file, since that's where Splunk logs information about the configuration files. But the question is specifically about monitor stanzas, so the splunkd.log file might be the better choice. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I bet the right answer is hidden in the fine print, like 'unless the breach involves a cat video with over 1 million views.'
