Effective breach management assists Whelan Property Group in avoiding or reducing possible harm to its clients to ensure the prevention of data breaches. This Data Breach Policy also describes the principles relating to documentation and communication so that organisational learning occurs in the event of a data breach. Whelan Property Group establishes responsibility and accountability for all steps in the process of addressing information security incidents that may result in data breaches and describes clear roles and responsibilities with the aim of ensuring a comprehensive and well-managed privacy information policy.
Security incidents involve wrongful handling or disclosure of information and can give rise to Data Breaches where personal data of our clients is involved.
