What it requires

  • If you are a controller that must register your databases in the national database registry (RNBD), report each security incident that affects a database you administer or your processor administers to that registry within 15 business days after you detect it and the person or area responsible for handling it learns of it.
  • If you are a controller that need not register your databases, or a processor, report each security incident that affects the information in your databases to the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio through its online application or another channel it enables, within the same 15 business days.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What record it asks for

Logging duty

Numeral 2.1(f)(ii) requires a security incident to be reported to the registry or to the Superintendencia within 15 business days. It does not tell the controller or the processor to document, register or keep a record of the incident, so the row records no logging duty. The numeral carries no scope clause on territory, so no territorial hook is recorded.
