GDPR updates for Resilient V30.4

The European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforcement date is 25 May 2018, and IBM Resilient has updated its Privacy Module for complying with the personal data breach notification requirements under the GDPR. Non-compliant organizations might face heavy fines.

The list of GDPR-compliant regulators depends on the version of Resilient installed, as shown in the following table:

August 2018 V30.3

September 2018 V30.4

The following GDPR updates are provided in Resilient V30.4:

  • Four new European regulators have been added: Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and Jersey.
  • The GDPR Breach Risk Assessment has been renamed to Europe Breach Risk Assessment.
  • The associated condition has been updated to replace the individual regulator values with a single new generic value. The new value applies to all regulators that are defined as Breach Risk Assessment Regulators. Therefore, if the list of Breach Risk Assessment Regulators is changed, the condition automatically triggers the risk assessment accordingly.

Customers can implement the latest Resilient GDPR functionality as follows:

  • For new installations of Resilient V30.4, the latest GDPR functionality is automatically provided.
  • To apply the latest GDPR functionality to existing Resilient installations, you must manually update the New Incident Wizard layout and the incident Breach tab layout. If you already updated your layouts to apply the GDPR functionality in a previous version of Resilient, you must make additional minor modifications. See the instructions in the next section for details.

Updates for existing customers

As an existing customer, your layouts remain unchanged during installation to retain any customizations. GDPR regulatory updates are not available to existing customers unless you update the incident Breach tab layout and the New Incident Wizard layout to match the GDPR changes made by IBM Resilient, as described in the instructions below.

Note: These instructions guide you through changing some field names, tooltip strings, and layouts to incorporate terminology from the GDPR legislation. It is not a requirement to make these terminology changes, and you are free to configure these fields with any terminology of your choice. However, they have been designed to conform better to GDPR. Also, your current layouts might not look exactly the same as the layouts described here, depending on which version of Resilient you started with and what customizations you've made.

To use the GDPR regulatory updates in the Resilient platform, you must - at a minimum - complete the following steps:

  • Add the GDPR step to the New Incident Wizard.
  • Add the GDPR Breach Risk Assessment widget to the incident Breach tab.

Exceptions and special situations

  • The GDPR functionality is provided in Resilient V29.5 but not in Resilient V30.0. Therefore, it is not possible to upgrade from Resilient V29.5 to Resilient V30.0. If upgrading from Resilient V29.5, you must upgrade to at least Resilient V30.1 or later.
  • The preliminary Regulator - EU - GDPR (preliminary) - introduced in Resilient V27.1 has been removed. Any incidents created with that regulator should be discarded or ignored.
