Model Action Plan for Responding to Significant Data Breaches

Written ministerial statementMade by Dame Angela EagleMinister of State in the Cabinet OfficeCabinet OfficeHCWS250

Today, the Government is publishing its Model Action Plan for Responding to Significant Data Breaches.

The Model Action Plan establishes a clear, consistent and coordinated approach to managing significant personal data breaches for government departments and arms-length bodies while respecting their own accountabilities and their legal position as distinct ‘data controllers’. Publishing the MAP forms part of our commitment to raise information security standards. Implementing the MAP is a visible commitment to the public and to parliament that the Government has a plan in place to minimise harm from future breaches.

I have placed a copy of the Model Action Plan for Responding to Significant Data Breaches in the Libraries of both Houses. The Model Action Plan will also be published on GOV.UK
