With digital information now as the backbone of business operations, privacy and data protection are more important than ever. Managing employee records, client databases, or financial systems comes with the real and potentially devastating risk of a data breach, and understanding what is a data breach is critical, whether it’s caused by a cyberattack or internal mishandling.

Understanding what a data breach in Australia is, and how to prevent or respond to one is critical for protecting your organisation’s reputation, legal standing, and long-term viability. That’s where Macpherson Kelley comes in.
