Personal data breach response
UK GDPR Art 33 & 34 · Operational summary · July 2026
Hypernest Innovations Limited maintains an incident response procedure aligned with our security architecture. When a personal data breach may affect your rights, we assess notification obligations to the ICO, to you, and (for fleet deployments) to your organisation as controller. This page is an operational summary — not legal advice.
Severity classification
- Critical — Confirmed exfiltration of notice images, driver PII, or cross-tenant access. Immediate customer notification.
- High — Confirmed unauthorised access to a single tenant without exfiltration evidence. Customer notification within 24 hours.
- Medium — Suspected access blocked before confirmation, or exposure, or exposure of non-sensitive metadata only.
- Low — Near-miss events or misconfiguration caught before exploitation.
Response timeline
- Immediate — Contain incident; preserve logs and audit trail
- 4 hours — Internal breach record opened with severity classification
- 24 hours — Notify affected fleet customers when Hypernest is processor
- 48 hours — Processor notification to fleet controllers (DPA commitment)
- 72 hours — ICO notification when required (UK GDPR Art 33)
- 72 hours — Notify individuals if high risk to rights (Art 34)
Fleet customers (B2B)
When we process driver data on your instructions, we notify your organisation as controller without undue delay and within 48 hours of becoming aware of a breach affecting your tenant. You are responsible for ICO and driver communication where you are controller.
ICO registration
Hypernest registers with the UK Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller. Registration details are published on the privacy notice footer once the certificate is issued. See also our ROPA summary.
Post-incident review
Every medium-or-above incident receives a post-incident review within 14 days documenting root cause, corrective actions, and preventive controls. Summary reports are available to fleet customers on request under confidentiality terms.
Individual subscribers
Direct EnforceIQ Labs subscribers receive notification when their personal data is affected, alongside guidance on protective steps such as password reset and monitoring for phishing attempts.
Report a concern
If you believe there has been unauthorised access to your EnforceIQ Labs data, contact [email protected] with subject line "Security incident". For production tenants, include your organisation name and approximate time of discovery.
Internal fillable templates for ICO and customer notification are maintained in the EnforceIQ Labs compliance pack (GDPR-01).
