GDPR and Data Breaches: Why Speed Matters

Article 33 of the GDPR mandates that data breaches must be reported to the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. In many cases, the clock starts ticking long before you confirm the full extent of the incident.

Reducing Time-to-Detect (TTD)

The average time to identify a breach is often measured in months. This gap creates a massive liability under GDPR. Attackers may have access to your systems for weeks before you notice.

The DarkLake Advantage

DarkLake provides an early warning system. Often, the first sign of a breach is not an alert from your SIEM, but a "selling thread" on a darknet forum or a dump of database records.

By monitoring these external channels, you can detect the breach immediately, investigate, and initiate your incident response plan well within the 72-hour window, potentially saving millions in fines and reputational damage.
