How Do You Handle Data Breaches or Security Incidents?

Mark Behnken

Last Update a month ago

In the event of a data breach:


  • Notify you as promptly as possible, generally within 24–72 hours of
    discovering the breach, though the timing may vary depending on when I become aware of the incident.
  • Assess the breach’s scope and implement containment measures as swiftly as possible, recognizing that the complexity of certain breaches may influence the speed of containment.
  • Provide recommendations to secure your website and prevent future breaches.
  • Assist in the recovery and restoration of affected data where feasible.


Please note that while I will take all reasonable measures to maintain the security of your website, there may be situations where I am not immediately aware of a breach, such as when access is gained through the site owner’s admin credentials or due to security issues beyond my direct control (e.g., weak passwords or compromised third-party accounts). 


It is important for site owners to follow best security practices, including using strong passwords and monitoring their own accounts.
