How quickly do you notify a data breach?

Within 48 hours once a suspected breach is judged likely, within 72 hours once confirmed, and a written summary within ten business days of resolution, per the DPA.

The DPA commits to notice of a personal data breach affecting customer personal data within forty-eight hours once one is suspected and judged likely to be confirmed, and within seventy-two hours once confirmed, with the information you need to meet your own notification obligations. A written summary of impact, cause, remediation, and preventive actions follows within ten business days of resolution. See the DPA.
