In an era of escalating cyber threats, a data breach is no longer a matter of “if,” but “when.” For Australian businesses, a data breach isn’t just a security incident—it’s a legal obligation under the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme, a core component of the Privacy Act 1988. Failure to comply can result in significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and a permanent loss of customer trust.

This white paper from Orro provides a clear, practical guide for C-suite leaders and risk managers on how to navigate the NDB scheme. We will demystify the key requirements, outline a step-by-step process for responding to a breach, and highlight how Orro’s Incident Response and Managed Security services help businesses prepare for, contain, and effectively manage a data breach from start to finish.
