businesses to disclose when they suffer a data breach<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 22 February 2018, the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme will take effect, introducing new obligations for Australian businesses that suffer a data breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Governed by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), the scheme strengthens the existing data privacy regulations in the Privacy Act by requiring businesses to&nbsp;notify individuals when the loss of their information is likely to result in serious harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new laws come as data breaches continue to escalate in Australia, with recent high profile cases causing severe problems for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/technology\/consumer-security\/dominos-customers-targeted-by-scammers-as-personal-data-leaks-20171017-gz2z3i.html\">businesses<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2017-11-02\/major-government-data-breach-prompts-investigation\/9112246\">government agencies<\/a> alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here we\u2019ll provide an overview of the NDB scheme, who it applies to, and your obligations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-will-my-business-need-to-comply-with-the-scheme\"><strong>Will my business need to comply with the scheme?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a business or non-profit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oaic.gov.au\/privacy-law\/rights-and-responsibilities#who-has-responsibilities-under-the-privacy-act\">covered by the Privacy Act<\/a> and have an annual turnover of $3 million or more, you will need to comply with the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your business makes less than $3 million a year, you may be exempt, however <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oaic.gov.au\/agencies-and-organisations\/faqs-for-agencies-orgs\/businesses\/small-business\">there are exceptions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scheme similarly applies to Australian government agencies, credit reporting bodies, health service providers, and TFN recipients, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta gated-content\">\n\t<div

It\u2019s important to note that the scheme only applies to eligible data breaches that occur on or after 22 February 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you only have reasonable grounds to&nbsp;<strong>suspect<\/strong>&nbsp;your business may have suffered an eligible data breach, you are not required to notify anyone immediately. However, you must complete a &#8220;reasonable and expeditious&#8221; assessment into the relevant circumstances within 30 days.
