How does the implementing rules define a “Security incident”?
A security incident is formally defined as any specific event or occurrence that affects or tends to negatively affect the overall state of data protection. This broad operational definition directly involves situations that may severely compromise the critical availability, integrity, and absolute confidentiality of processed personal data. Importantly, it deliberately includes minor incidents that would have ultimately resulted in a personal data breach if not for the successful safeguards already in place. This comprehensive understanding of security risks is established in Section 3 IRR. “s. “Security incident” is an event or occurrence that affects or tends to affect data protection, or may compromise the availability, integrity and confidentiality of personal data. It includes incidents that would result to a personal data breach, if not for safeguards that have been put in place;” 22-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
