Breach notification laws are now commonplace across many territories, and require businesses that fail to protect personal data to notify affected individuals or risk hefty fines and penalties. Australia’s Notifiable Data Breaches Act, Canada’s Digital Privacy Act, Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation, and numerous US state laws make it a legal obligation to notify, and there is also a growing trend towards voluntary notification in order to protect your brand and reputation.Cyber policies can provide cover for the costs associated with providing a breach notice even if it’s not legally required, and can also cover associated regulatory fines and penalties.
