Can the National Privacy Commission authorize the delay of a mandatory breach notification?
Yes, the Commission possesses the discretionary power to legally authorize the postponement or delay of a mandatory breach notification. This specific authorization is typically granted in highly sensitive situations where immediate notification might compromise an active investigation. Specifically, the Commission may allow the delay where a premature notification may heavily hinder the progress of an ongoing criminal investigation related to a serious breach. This critical investigative exception is formally codified under Section 40 IRR. “c. The Commission may authorize postponement of notification where it may hinder the progress of a criminal investigation related to a serious breach.” 22-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
