“The introduction of mandated notification and increased penalties under GDPR are likely to further drive up the potential financial costs of all data incidents in the future too – whether as a result of an incident becoming notifiable as a breach or the additional investigative work that might be required in order to satisfy the business that notification is not required,” he said. GDPR has contributed to a fall in cybersecurity breaches, according to the London 's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport . Statistics show that 32% of businesses identified a breach or attack last year , down from 43% in each month . However, 32% of the businesses and 32% of the charities who were attacked faced ten breach or attack each month , indicating that hackers may be researching their victims before targeting them and that organisations are failing to identify the initial threat.
