How we protect your data

What data breach procedures we have in place

Confirm the Breach

The Data Breach Team should act as soon as it is aware of a data breach.  Where possible, it should first confirm that the data breach has occurred.  It may make sense to proceed Contain the Breach on the basis of an unconfirmed reported data breach, depending on the likelihood of the severity of risk.

Contain the Breach

The Data Breach Team should consider the following measures to Contain the Breach, where applicable:

  • Shut down the compromised system that led to the data breach.
  • Establish whether steps can be taken to recover lost data and limit any damage caused by the breach.
  • (eg: remotely disabling / wiping a lost notebook containing personal data of individuals.)
  • Prevent further unauthorised access to the system.
  • Reset passwords if accounts and / or passwords have been compromised.
  • Isolate the causes of the data breach in the system, and where applicable, change the access rights to the compromised system and remove external connections to the system.

Assess Risks and Impact

Knowing the risks and impact of data breaches will help Boundlss determine whether there could be serious consequences to affected individuals, as well as the steps necessary to notify the individuals affected.

Report the Incident

Usefulnext.com is legally required to notify affected individuals if their personal data has been breached.  This will encourage individuals to take preventive measures to reduce the impact of the data breach, and also help Usefulnext.com rebuild consumer trust.

Evaluate the Response & Recovery to Prevent Future Breaches

After steps have been taken to resolve the data breach, Boundlss should review the cause of the breach and evaluate if existing protection and prevention measures and processes are sufficient to prevent similar breaches from occurring, and where applicable put a stop to practices which led to the data breach.
