Question 3

Who drafts the Data Breach Response Policy?

Accepted Answer

Your policy is drafted by licensed Australian lawyers with expertise in privacy law and data breach response. Our team specializes in:

• Privacy Act compliance and Notifiable Data Breach scheme requirements
• OAIC reporting procedures and timelines
• Incident response planning and crisis management
• Data security and breach notification regulations

All solicitors are licensed to practice in Australia and experienced in data protection law.

Question 4

How do you gather the information needed?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we send you a detailed AI-powered questionnaire that asks about:

• Types of personal information you collect and hold
• Your data storage systems and security measures
• Existing incident response procedures
• Organizational structure and key personnel
• Regulatory obligations specific to your industry
• Third-party service providers and data sharing

The questionnaire takes 10-15 minutes to complete and ensures we capture all necessary details to draft a comprehensive, tailored policy.

Accepted Answer

Yes, one round of amendments is included in the base price. After you receive the initial draft, you can request changes to:

• Response procedures and timelines

• Notification templates and communication plans
• Any other sections that need adjustment

Additional revision rounds are available if needed for a small additional fee.

Question 6

Can I consult with the solicitor who drafted my policy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a 30-minute consultation with the solicitor who drafted your policy can be arranged for an additional fee. This is useful for:

• Understanding specific clauses or procedures
• Discussing implementation strategies
• Reviewing edge cases or complex scenarios
• Getting guidance on staff training

Consultation can be scheduled after policy delivery.

Question 7

How is this different from a generic template?

Accepted Answer

Unlike generic templates, your custom Data Breach Response Policy is:

• Aligned with your organizational structure and resources
• Drafted by an Australian lawyer familiar with your industry
• Compliant with current Privacy Act and OAIC requirements
• Includes procedures specific to your third-party relationships
• Ready for immediate implementation without modification

Templates require extensive customization and may miss critical issues specific to your operations.

Accepted Answer

The policy provides comprehensive coverage of:

• Breach identification and initial assessment
• Containment, eradication, and recovery procedures
• Eligible data breach assessment under NDB scheme
• 30-day OAIC notification requirements and procedures
• Individual notification obligations and templates
• Third-party notification (regulators, partners, insurers)
• Media and public relations response
• Legal and regulatory obligations
• Forensic investigation coordination
• Post-incident review and preventative measures
• Documentation and record-keeping requirements

Question 9

Is this compliant with Australian privacy laws?

Accepted Answer

• Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles
• Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme requirements
• OAIC guidelines and recommendations
• Industry-specific regulations (if applicable to your sector)

We ensure all notification timelines, assessment procedures, and reporting requirements align with current Australian law.

Question 10

What if privacy laws change after I receive my policy?

Accepted Answer

Privacy and data breach laws do evolve. While your policy reflects current law at the time of drafting, you may need updates if:

• Privacy Act amendments are enacted
• OAIC issues new guidance or requirements
• Your business operations change significantly
• New data types or systems are introduced

We can provide policy updates or amendments as needed for an additional fee. We recommend reviewing your policy annually.

Accepted Answer

Yes, your policy includes:

• Clear, actionable procedures written in plain language
• Step-by-step checklists for breach response
• Template notifications ready for use
• Role definitions and responsibility assignments
• Recommended staff training topics

Many clients implement the policy internally, but we can also provide additional support or training sessions for an extra fee.

Question 12

What happens after I receive the final policy?

Accepted Answer

After delivery, you can:

• Implement the policy immediately within your organization
• Use the included templates for breach notifications
• Train your staff on response procedures
• Store the policy securely for reference during incidents

You own the policy and can use it indefinitely. If you need future amendments due to business changes or law updates, we can provide those services separately.
