Under the FOI Act, I am seeking for your records of data-breach from May 2018 until 2020. I am researching "the impact of the introduction of the GDPR mandatory data breach regime in the civil service from 2018 to 2020".Under the GDPR, organisations must keep a record of its data breaches. Please, send me that record, so I can gather statistical data such as, how many breaches happened on each year, 2018- 2020?; How many were reported to the Data Protection Commission or not?; what are the most and least recurrent breaches, e.g. human error, technology; what are the leading causes of data breaches, among others.Also, please send me reports ordocuments that contain information, graphs, tables, findings about data breaches during thatperiod. You can send them to this email address.
