January 10, 2007 - Breach Notification Assessment Tool

The Information and Privacy Commissioners for British Columbia and Ontario have jointly produced this Breach Notification Assessment Tool to assist you in making key decisions after a privacy breach occurs

It should be read along with:  

Ontario: What to do if a privacy breach occurs: Guidelines for government organizations, http://www.ipc.on.ca/images/Resources/up-prbreach.pdf

What to do When Faced With a Privacy Breach: Guidelines for the Health Sector, http://www.ipc.on.ca/images/Resources/up-hprivbreach.pdf

Organizations that collect and hold personal information are responsible for notifying affected individuals when a privacy breach occurs. If the breach occurs at a third party entity that has been contracted to maintain or process personal information, the breach should be reported to the originating entity, which has primary responsibility for notification. This Notification Assessment Tool takes organizations through four decision-making steps regarding notification:

Step 1: Notifying Affected Individuals
Step 2: When and How to Notify
Step 3: What to Include in the Notification
Step 4: Others to Contact
