In the frameworks

NIST Privacy Framework
  • CT.PO-P1Policies, processes, and procedures for authorizing data processing (e.g., organizational decisions, individual consent), revoking authorizations, and maintaining authorizations are established and in place.
  • CM.AW-P7Impacted individuals and organizations are notified about a privacy breach or event.

Logging duty

Article 14 sexies requires the controller to report to the Agency a security breach that creates a reasonable risk to data subjects' rights, and to record those communications, describing the nature of the breach, its effects, the categories of data and approximate number of data subjects affected, and the measures taken. That is a breach register; the elements named are not log-content values, so none is listed. Article 14 quinquies makes the controller prove the existence and operation of its security measures in an administrative or judicial dispute after an incident, which is a burden of proof and not a record. Article 30 bis(c) lets the Agency require any document, book or record from those who process data, which is the regulator's power to inspect on its own initiative. The Act sets no period for keeping the register, and the Registro Nacional de Sanciones y Cumplimiento is the Agency's own register. The Act's substantive provisions apply from .
