NZ: Reserve Bank hit with compliance notice from Privacy Commissioner over data breach

Posted on September 23, 2021 by Dissent

Chris Keall reports:

The Reserve Bank has suffered the ignominy of being the first organisation to be hit by a compliance notice under the new Privacy Act, which came into force in December last year.

Privacy Commissioner John Edwards says an independent review carried out by KPMG after a December 2020 cyber attack “revealed multiple areas of non-compliance with Privacy Principle 5.”

Principle 5 of the new Privacy Act states that organisations “must ensure there are safeguards in place that are reasonable in the circumstances to prevent loss, misuse or disclosure of personal information”.
