As a housing association, a lot of personal data is exchanged every day. Think of sensitive information from citizens as well as from your organization. And that is not surprising, when we consider the privacy sensitivity of the data that is exchanged. Do you know what is going on with email security and secure communication? Does your organization currently have the right security to prevent a data breach?
Housing associations increasingly communicate digitally with citizens, relations and various government institutions. In addition, a lot of information is shared by e-mail.
These are often (large) files with sensitive data such as name and address details, payslips and copies of passports. Information that neither you as an organization nor the citizen want to fall into the wrong hands.
Als gemeente dient u met de volgende regelgevingen rekening te houden:
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became enforceable beginning 25 May 2018. This law obliges organizations within Europe to process and protect personal data correctly. In practice, this means that people whose data are stored, processed and shared now have more rights.
To check whether you as a housing corporation are currently sufficiently protected, these questions can help you:
The problem with data leaks, in addition to the lack of awareness, complicated work processes and unfriendliness of systems, is closer than you might think. It is your own employees who can unintentionally - due to human error - share data with the wrong people.
Where there is no secure communication, the risk of a data breach is always present. And the figures of the data breaches in Europe since the introduction of the GDPR until January 2020 (Report: DLA Piper) also show that .
+160,000 data breach notifications
in Europe since the introduction of the GDPR.
The Netherlands, Ireland and Denmark
had the most data breaches per capita.
Human Error - sending data to the wrong person
is the main cause of data breaches.
The consequences of a data breach can be enormous, both the financial consequences for you as a housing association and the consequences for the victims. Just consider the following:
Within housing corporations there is a lot of e-mailing back and forth. This concerns contact between citizens and employees, employees themselves and with various government institutions.
The chance that something will go wrong is always present. Think of sending a file to the wrong recipient, due to volatility or fatigue of the employee. Exchanging information with the wrong person, resulting in a possible data breach, can have far-reaching consequences:
