Breach notification procedure: how to answer it in a security questionnaire

Usually asked as: “Describe your breach notification procedures.”

Updated

What the buyer is really asking

Beyond the deadline, how does notification actually happen? Say who decides, who gets contacted, through which channel, and what the notice will include. Check that it matches what your contracts promise.

Other ways buyers ask it

Every one of these wants the same answer:

  • “Describe your breach notification procedure.”
  • “Who will you contact in the event of a breach?”
  • “What information will a breach notice include?”

Evidence to have ready

  • The notification section of your incident response plan
  • A notification template, if one exists

How Tyrvar answers this

Tyrvar treats every wording above as one question. You write the answer once, attach the evidence, and revisit it when your setup changes. Each buyer gets that approved answer no matter how their questionnaire words it. If you have not answered it yet, Tyrvar flags the question for you and does not make something up. Try it on your own questionnaire.
