Abstract
According to some exemplary embodiments, the present technology is directed to methods for managing a data incident, including receiving, via a risk assessment server, in response to an occurrence of the data incident, data incident data that comprises information corresponding to the data incident, the data incident further comprising intentional or unintentional compromise, disclosure or release of personal data or personally identifiable information to an untrusted or unauthorized environment, automatically generating, via the risk assessment server, a risk assessment and decision-support guidance whether the data incident is reportable from a comparison of the data incident data to privacy rules, the privacy rules comprising at least one European General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) rule, each rule defining requirements associated with data incident notification obligations, and providing, via the risk assessment server, the risk assessment to a display device that selectively couples with the risk assessment server.
