ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
An EU-based retailer is migrating its customer loyalty database to a public SaaS provider. During an enterprise risk review, senior management asks which rule mandates how quickly the organization must tell a government authority if the stored personal data is breached. Which statement most accurately reflects that regulatory transparency requirement?
Under PCI DSS, any compromise of cardholder data must always be reported to the card brands within 48 hours, regardless of circumstances.
Under the EU GDPR, the data controller must notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach, unless the breach is unlikely to pose a risk to individuals.
Under Sarbanes-Oxley, public companies must report any security breach that could affect financial data to the U.S. SEC within 24 hours of discovery.
Under HIPAA, a cloud provider acting as a business associate must inform the covered entity of any unsecured PHI breach within 8 hours of detection.
GDPR Article 33 requires the data controller (the retailer) to notify the competent supervisory authority of a personal data breach without undue delay and, where feasible, no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of it, unless the breach is unlikely to result in risks to individuals' rights and freedoms. Sarbanes-Oxley focuses on accuracy of financial reporting and contains no explicit breach-notification clock. PCI DSS requires incident response procedures but defers specific notification periods to the payment brands and acquirers rather than imposing a universal 48-hour rule. HIPAA requires business associates to notify the covered entity of an unsecured PHI breach without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days-not 8 hours-after discovery.
