Records are kept of all incidents and their handling.

Any loss, theft or hack of ICT equipment containing personal data must be reported to the ICTS Service Desk immediately. Such a situation is likely to constitute a data breach. As a rule, the AUAS is required to report all data breaches to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. This must be done within 72 hours of discovering the breach. It is therefore important to contact the ICTS Service Desk immediately in the event of any loss, theft or hack of personal data. You can do so by emailing servicedesk-icts@hva.nl or calling 020- 951402. Outside office hours, please email servicedesk-icts@hva.nl.
