When to report a security incident
Please report a security incident as soon as you become ‘reasonably aware’ of it, for the following reasons:
- we need to act quickly to protect individuals by protecting their information

- we need to contain the incident and any risk to our premises, information or network security before it escalates, which may include isolating devices to prevent the spread of malware or stunning devices to render them useless
- if a personal data breach, in addition to the above actions, we need to assess whether this should be reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
- personal data breaches meeting the criteria to report to the ICO must be reported within a statutory 72 hours of becoming ‘reasonably aware’
- do not ‘play down’ or conceal any personal data breach - failure to report certain breaches to the ICO, and failure to do so within 72 hours carries the potential for fines. - we want to learn from errors to prevent reoccurrence


Your responsibility
It is your responsibility to report an incident as soon as you become reasonably aware, as per the Security Incident Reporting Procedure
