How It Works
- 1
Breach Detected and Reported
A suspected breach is logged via the TruePrivacy incident intake form, API, or integration with your SIEM or ticketing system. The 72-hour regulatory clock starts immediately.
- 2
Severity and Scope Assessed
The platform guides your team through a structured severity assessment covering data categories affected, number of individuals, likely consequences, and encryption status.
- 3
Notifications Automated
Based on the assessment, TruePrivacy generates pre-populated DPA notification drafts, individual notification templates, and tracks submission deadlines across multiple regulators.
- 4
Evidence Collected and Report Generated
All actions, decisions, evidence, and communications are captured in a structured incident record. A post-incident report is generated for internal review and regulatory response.

Frequently Asked Questions
The clock starts when the data controller becomes aware of a breach — not when it is confirmed. TruePrivacy starts the countdown the moment an incident is logged, encouraging prompt reporting even when the scope is still being assessed.
No. Under GDPR Article 33, notification is required only when a breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. TruePrivacy's severity assessment helps you make this determination and documents your reasoning.
TruePrivacy identifies the lead supervisory authority based on your establishment location and tracks any cross-border notification requirements for affected jurisdictions. It manages timelines for each authority simultaneously.
Yes. TruePrivacy integrates with common SIEM platforms, ServiceNow, Jira, and PagerDuty to ingest breach notifications automatically and link incident records.
Breach records are retained for a configurable period, with a recommended minimum of 5 years to cover typical regulatory and litigation look-back periods. All records are stored with tamper-evident logging.
