  • Complete forensic investigation and document whether any personal data was accessed, exfiltrated or retained by the sub-vendor.
  • Notify affected parties if required and provide a clearer scope-of-impact update to investors, customers and regulators.
  • Review all group-company vendors handling customer, employee, prescription, payment or identity data.
  • Tighten vendor contracts around breach notification, data minimization, audit rights, encryption and cross-border data handling.
