Data Breach Notification Readiness: Testing Your Ability to Meet Regulatory Deadlines — 中国企业指南

Regulations require breach notification within 72 hours (GDPR) or similar timeframes. Testing whether you can actually meet these deadlines. Guidance for ZH market.

Regulatory breach notification deadlines are tight — GDPR requires notification to the supervisory authority within 72 hours, and many other regulations have similar requirements. Readiness testing evaluates: can you detect a breach quickly enough to begin the 72-hour clock?; do you have templates and procedures for notification?; can you assess the scope and impact of a breach within the notification timeframe?; have you tested the notification process end-to-end?; and are roles and responsibilities clear for the notification decision? Many organisations discover through tabletop exercises that they cannot realistically meet notification deadlines with their current processes.
