Protect Your Customer Data – New Privacy & Breach Laws You Can’t Ignore

Protect Your Customer Data – New Privacy & Breach Laws You Can’t Ignore

New rules around privacy and data breaches mean company directors on the Mid North Coast now carry clear personal responsibility for keeping customer information safe. ASIC expects boards to take an active role in managing cyber risks, while the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme requires prompt reporting to the OAIC and affected people when serious harm is likely. A breach can lead to big fines, lost trust in the local community, and personal liability. PC Pitstop’s Proactive Care service helps directors meet these duties with round-the-clock monitoring, strong antivirus protection, regular updates, and reliable backups. Priced from just $44 per device each month with no lock-in contracts, it gives you simple, ongoing support to reduce risks and show you are acting responsibly. Book your free IT and cyber risk assessment today and take the first step to protect your business.
