01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A confidentiality incident reported by an authorized staff member

“Record the incident and its initial assessment, then update notice dates, mitigation, and status as people investigate and respond.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Collects incident information, records an initial status, supports later notice and mitigation updates, and summarizes matters that need the privacy lead’s attention.

  1. Record an incident

    Capture the incident details, discovery date, affected information categories, and the staff member making the report.

  2. Assign a reference and retain the record

    Give the entry a unique reference and calculate its five-year retention date for the responsible team.

  3. Assess risk through the proper people

    Record the risk conclusion made by the responsible person; do not treat a form response or automated status as a legal determination.

  4. Track notices and mitigation

    Add notice dates, public notice or delay reasons, and additional mitigation as the incident is handled.

  5. Review before closing an incident

    Require the responsible person to complete the information needed for serious-risk or unassessed cases before closure.

  6. Remind the privacy lead and export records

    Surface notices due, long-unassessed entries, and records past their retention date, and provide a register export when requested.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A dated incident register with unique references, tracked follow-up, daily reminders for entries needing attention, and an exportable record.

The handoff

A dated incident register with unique references, tracked follow-up, daily reminders for entries needing attention, and an exportable record.

Keep in mind

This is a record-keeping aid, not legal advice or a legal risk assessment. A qualified person must assess the incident, decide whether notices are needed, and determine the appropriate timing; the process does not establish compliance by itself.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose authorized staff and access

Decide who may report incidents, update records, review notices, and maintain the register.

Set incident fields and categories

Agree what information staff must provide and which personal-information categories should be available for selection.

Name the privacy lead and reminders

Choose the reminder recipient, sender, schedule, and threshold for bringing unassessed entries to attention.

Review the record-keeping process

Confirm how staff assess risk, document decisions, handle notice timing, retain records, and seek legal guidance when needed.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
