The incident clock
Do you know what to do at each stage of your incident clock?
Sped up. The line is this moment on the drawing; the flags behind it are deadlines already reached. Drag the line or the slider to stop at a moment.
Each flag is one law, and a link to it. The flag is the jurisdiction whose law it is, in a heavier frame where that jurisdiction is part of a country rather than a country itself. Hover for the law's name and the clock it sets; click to open it on LexLint.
Every reporting clock in the LexLint law library that an incident involving an agent can start: the incident and vulnerability duties of cybersecurity law and the breach duties of privacy law, by jurisdiction, each with the sentence that carries the clock, and the Open Secure AI Alliance's proposed SAFE timeline drawn on the same scale.
See only the clocks your own application starts: sign in and pick a project, or open the demo to try it on the demo's sample projects. The jurisdictions come from the project's declaration on my.lexlint.io, read the way the lint reads them: the declared jurisdictions, the rungs above them, and the union a member state belongs to.
An incident involving an AGENT, a credential it leaked, a tool it misused, a system it took down, a person's data it exposed, starts clocks in the law of every jurisdiction where the affected systems and people are. None of those clocks was written for agents. They are the incident and vulnerability reporting duties of cybersecurity law and the breach notification duties of privacy law, and the law library holds them by jurisdiction, each with the sentence that carries the clock and a link to the primary source.
This page lists them, and it draws the notification timeline of the Shared AI Findings Exchange (SAFE), the incident-learning working group of the Open Secure AI Alliance (OSAA), whose version 1.0 is dated , on the same scale, because a member of that scheme would be reporting to a regulator and to the scheme from the same incident. Nothing here says which report an organization must file. It says which clocks exist, who set them, and where the text is.
How a rung is read from its sentence, why the clocks start from different moments, what a staged clock is, and why one incident starts two families at once are the handbook's Incident reporting clocks document, which discusses these clocks and refers back here for them. Incident command is the method for which of them one incident starts.
1SAFE's timeline, and the statutory clocks beside it
The notification timeline of SAFE v1.0 sets six dated rungs and one recurring duty, quoted here as it writes them (source: the compact's text, dated , read ). It says of itself that “SAFE reporting complements applicable legal, contractual and coordinated-disclosure duties; it does not replace or extend their deadlines.” Beside each rung are the statutory clocks in the law library that fall at or inside it: later than SAFE's previous rung, no later than this one. The first rung has no hours, so what sits there is every obligation stated as a standard rather than a number.
| SAFE's rung, as written | What it asks a member to do | Statutory clocks at or inside it |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate action | notify the directly affected organization |
Security: "immediately" in 65, "without delay" in 39, "without undue delay" in 34, "promptly" in 34, "as soon as possible" in 24, "as soon as practicable" in 10, "without unreasonable delay" in 6, "as soon as you become aware" in 5, "as soon as reasonably practicable" in 4, "forthwith" in 3, "upon becoming aware" in 1, "as soon as may be" in 1, "as soon as the agency becomes aware" in 1, "as soon as reasonably feasible" in 1 of the 313 listed Privacy: "without undue delay" in 64, "without unreasonable delay" in 49, "immediately" in 26, "without delay" in 21, "as soon as practicable" in 19, "as soon as possible" in 16, "promptly" in 14, "as soon as reasonably possible" in 5, "in the most expedient time possible" in 3, "as soon as you become aware" in 2, "as soon as reasonably practicable" in 2, "at the time it becomes aware" in 1, "as soon as feasible" in 1, "upon becoming aware" in 1, "from the moment the breach is detected" in 1, "without unnecessary delay" in 1, "immediate" in 1, "forthwith" in 1, "within the shortest time" in 1, "as expeditiously as possible" in 1 of the 223 listed High-risk AI: "immediately" in 7, "without undue delay" in 3, "promptly" in 3, "without delay" in 2 of the 17 listed Frontier-model AI: "without undue delay" in 1 of the 8 listed

Every rung as a list Show the ladderHide the ladder
12 statutory rungs (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 70 hours) fall before SAFE's first dated rung of 72 hours. The rung most security instruments share is 72 hours (113 instruments in 84 jurisdictions). The rung most privacy instruments share is 72 hours (115 instruments in 109 jurisdictions). The rung most high-risk AI instruments share is 48 hours (6 instruments in 4 jurisdictions). The rung most frontier-model AI instruments share is 24 hours (6 instruments in 5 jurisdictions). The longest security rung is 60 days. The longest privacy rung is 60 days. The longest high-risk AI rung is 60 days. The longest frontier-model AI rung is 1 month.
A member on the statutory clocks reports to a regulator before SAFE's own confidential report is due. That is the ordinary shape of the law, and it is the reason SAFE's public report at 30 days may describe an incident already in a regulator's hands, under that regulator's confidentiality and publication rules.
2Security law: incident and vulnerability reporting, by jurisdiction
313 instruments in 175 jurisdictions in the law library's cybersecurity topic under its incident-reporting family state a reporting deadline, as of : 235 a numeric clock, and 78 a standard such as "immediately" or "without undue delay" with no number. Most bind the OPERATOR of a service inside the scope of the NIS2 Directive or its national transposition; the CRA binds the MAKER of a product with digital elements, software included. The sentence says which.
52 more instruments in this family state no deadline in their obligation lines and are not listed here; the cybersecurity law section has them.

DORA, Article 19 (reporting of major ICT-related incidents), with the time limits of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/301 (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554, Article 19)
4 hours24 hoursReport a major ICT-related incident to the competent authority your sector's Union law designates under Article 46, the European Central Bank through your national supervisor if you are a credit institution classified as significant, using the templates referred to in Article 20, and submit an initial notification as early as possible and in any case within four hours of classifying the incident as major, and no later than 24 hours from becoming aware of it.
4 hoursWhere classification as major comes later than that, submit the initial notification within four hours of the classification instead.
72 hoursSubmit an intermediate report within 72 hours of the initial notification, and submit an updated intermediate report without undue delay and in any case when you have recovered regular activities.
1 monthSubmit a final report no later than one month after the intermediate report, or your latest updated one, once you know the root cause and the actual impact figures.
without undue delayIf you cannot meet one of those deadlines, tell the competent authority without undue delay and before the deadline lapses, explaining why. A deadline falling on a weekend or bank holiday moves to noon of the next working day, unless you are a credit institution, a central counterparty, a trading venue operator, or an entity your Member State has designated essential or important under the NIS2 Directive, none of which get that extension for an initial notification or intermediate report. Your competent authority may also decide, and notify you, that the extension does not apply to you if you are a financial entity that is significant or has a systemic character for the financial sector at national or Union level.
without undue delayNotifying a significant cyber threat under Article 19(2) is voluntary, only where you judge it relevant to the financial system, service users, or your clients. Where a major ICT-related incident affects your clients' financial interests, tell them without undue delay as soon as you become aware of it, describing the incident and the mitigation measures you took, and, for a significant cyber threat, tell a potentially affected client of protection measures it could take, where applicable.

Computer-Security Incident Notification Requirements for Banking Organizations and Their Bank Service Providers (12 CFR Part 53 (OCC); 12 CFR Part 225, Subpart N (Federal Reserve Board); 12 CFR Part 304, Subpart C (FDIC))
36 hoursIf your organization is a banking organization, notify your primary federal banking regulator, the OCC, the Federal Reserve Board, or the FDIC, whichever supervises it, about a notification incident, as soon as possible and no later than 36 hours after your organization determines that a notification incident has occurred. A notification incident is the subset of computer-security incidents that has materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, your ability to serve customers, a business line, or an operation whose failure would threaten the financial stability of the United States, so a computer-security incident that falls short of that threshold does not by itself start this clock.
as soon as possibleIf your organization is a bank service provider, notify at least one bank-designated point of contact at each affected banking organization customer as soon as possible after your organization determines that it has experienced a computer-security incident that has materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, covered services provided to that banking organization for a period of four hours or more. This duty carries a standard, as soon as possible, rather than a fixed number of hours to notify by, and that disruption threshold is what engages the duty rather than a period to notify within.

4AI law, high-risk systems: serious-incident reporting, by jurisdiction
17 instruments in 9 jurisdictions in the law library's AI topic under its risk-obligations family state a reporting deadline, as of : 11 a numeric clock, and 6 a standard such as "immediately" or "without undue delay" with no number. The duty here turns on a high-risk classification, and it binds the MAKER of the system, with a separate and shorter duty on the OPERATOR that identifies the incident first. Only the EU AI Act states its periods in the duty itself. The rest of this family states no reporting deadline: bills, vetoed acts and framework laws that leave the period to an implementing act or to a legislature that has not passed them, and duties on a high-risk system that are not about reporting an incident at all.
52 more instruments in this family state no deadline in their obligation lines and are not listed here; the AI law section has them.

5AI law, frontier models: safety-incident reporting, by jurisdiction
8 instruments in 7 jurisdictions in the law library's AI topic under its governance family state a reporting deadline, as of : 7 a numeric clock, and 1 a standard such as "immediately" or "without undue delay" with no number. These do not turn on a high-risk classification. They bind the MAKER of a frontier model, reached by a compute or capability threshold, and the report goes to a state agency rather than to a market surveillance authority: California's Office of Emergency Services, New York's Attorney General. Both of those are in force. This family is named for governance rather than for incidents, so a rung is drawn here only where the sentence names the event that starts it: an audit remediation report and a content-complaint status update are periods in this family, neither is started by an incident, and neither is listed.
96 more instruments in this family state no deadline in their obligation lines and are not listed here; the AI law section has them.

6How a missed clock is enforced
A late or misleading notice is enforced almost entirely as a civil matter: a regulator's order, an attorney general's settlement or suit, a data protection authority's fine. It is seldom charged alone. In every case below the notice sits beside a charge that the security itself was unreasonable, or that the company misdescribed its security or the breach. The one criminal case is about hiding a breach from a regulator that was already investigating, not about a deadline.
What the cases share
- Who brings the case
- In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission under its power over unfair and deceptive practices, state attorneys general under their breach-notification and consumer-protection statutes, sector regulators such as New York's Department of Financial Services, and, over what a listed company tells investors, the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the EU, the data protection authorities, under the breach-notification article of the EU's data protection law.
- When the clock started
- At the first evidence of compromise, not at the end of the investigation. New York's regulator treats the installation of a webshell as reportable on its own, even with no data taken, and its order held Delta Dental to the day it found one, five weeks before it confirmed that data had left.
- A promise is a clock
- What a company promised its customers is held against it as well as the statute. Illuminate's contracts promised school districts notice within 24 or 48 hours, and the Federal Trade Commission charged the notices it sent months later, and for some students nearly two years later, as a deceptive practice.
- The vendor's clock
- A software vendor is often not the party that must notify the people affected: its customer is. A vendor that tells its customers late, or tells them less than it knows, delays every notice after its own. The attorneys general who settled with Blackbaud said that notice to the people exposed "was significantly delayed or never occurred at all" because the company played the incident down.
- What an order requires
- Money, and conduct from then on: a security program, deletion of data the company no longer needs, a bar on misrepresenting how quickly it will notify, and in one order a duty to tell the regulator whenever it reports a breach to any other government. Most of these ended in settlements, and a settlement is not a finding of liability.
