The Data Breach Impact Assessment is a crucial document required when organizations experience a data breach that may pose risks to individuals' rights and freedoms under Swiss law. This assessment becomes necessary following any security incident involving personal data and must be conducted in accordance with the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (revFADP/nDSG). The document serves multiple purposes: it helps organizations understand the full scope and impact of the breach, determines notification obligations to authorities and affected individuals, outlines necessary mitigation measures, and demonstrates compliance with regulatory requirements. For Swiss organizations handling EU residents' data, the assessment also considers GDPR implications. The document should be prepared as soon as a breach is detected and updated as new information becomes available.
