What does this assessment cover?

The first-hours decisions. The triage walks the calls a Data Protection Officer faces under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): is this breach notifiable, by when, with what contents, and what must you not do in the first hour.

What you get. An Article 33 notifiable-or-document verdict, the 72-hour deadline from your awareness time, the required notification contents, and a starter draft for counsel.

What it isn't. This is general guidance for a time-critical situation, not legal advice and not a substitute for counsel. Responsibility for meeting the GDPR remains with you.

Version 1 · Updated 2026-07-21

For anyone who might be told first about a personal-data breach and needs the shape of the next 72 hours.

When you have worked through this, you will have: your notify-or-document triage verdict from the free assessment, and a 72-hour battle-card someone can hold at the start of an incident. Download this as a PDF.

The one guide
The GDPR 72-Hour Battle-Card
PDF · 10 min · Anyone who might be told first
A short printable card laying out the sequence of the first 72 hours — awareness, risk assessment, coordination, submission — alongside the list of things not to do.
Reach for it when: Now, before anything happens — and give a copy to anyone who might be told first.
You finish with: A shared understanding of the sequence, and a card someone can hold at the start of an incident.
The interactive assessment — a short decision-tree triage that returns a notify-or-document verdict and the 72-hour deadline.

When you outgrow the free tier, the Solo toolkit turns the card into a worked response — the triage steps, the Article 33 notification template, and the do-not-touch list — with a Start here catalog to sequence them. See the Solo, Team and Enterprise editions →
