The European Commission has launched a public consultation on whether additional rules are needed to ensure telecoms operators and internet service providers (ISPs) report personal data breaches in a consistent way across the EU.
The data breach notification (DBN) requirement for the electronic communications sector was introduced in the review of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), and is regarded by the European Commission (EC) as vital to shoring up data security in Europe.
In May this year, the EC released the revised ePrivacy Directive (2009/136/EC) that requires telecoms operators and ISPs to make breaches public.
