Personal Information Incident

Under GDPR Article 4(12), it's defined as a "personal data breach": a security breach leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This includes incidents from cyberattacks, human error, or system flaws.

Beyond fines up to TWD 15 million under Taiwan's PDPA, global regulations like GDPR have extraterritorial reach. A breach can severely damage brand reputation, customer trust, and supply chain partnerships, especially for companies in sectors like semiconductors and automotive that serve global clients.

The primary standard is ISO/IEC 27701 (Privacy Information Management System), an extension to ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System). Specifically, ISO 27001's Annex A.16 (Information security incident management) and ISO 27701's clause 6.13.1 provide frameworks for incident response and notification.
