Information Regulator launches portal to report security breaches

[Daniel Puchert]

Important information for companies that get hacked in South Africa

South Africa's Information Regulator has launched an online platform for public and private entities to report security compromises. It has instructed all organisations to report any compromises through the system.

The system is accessible through the Information Regulator's eServices portal, and the Information Regulator will no longer accept reports via email.

What happens when, not if, the IR's system is offline?

Are emails then allowed again?

That was exactly what I thought when I read the article, irony takes on a life of its own and demands it.
