Prepare. Respond. Recover.

Proactive Crisis & Data Breach Response Planning

Prepare your business for a data breach with our proactive services

Data breaches happen every day across all industries. When personal data like names, addresses, or payment details are exposed, individuals face a higher risk of identity theft and fraud.

Businesses must be ready to respond quickly and responsibly. That’s why we offer proactive services to help you build a robust response plan before a breach occurs. Whether you're a small business or a large enterprise, taking steps now can save time, reduce stress, and protect your reputation when an incident happens.

Experian has over a decade of experience supporting organisations through data breaches. We’re here to help - no question is too small. Reach out to our team at breachresponse@experian.com.

Why prepare in advance?

  • Faster response: Act immediately with ready-made templates, streamlined processes, and pre-approved decisions.
  • Regulatory compliance: Avoid fines by meeting notification requirements.
  • Customer trust: Demonstrate care and accountability to protect trust and reputation.
  • Reduced stress: Your team knows exactly what to do.
  • Cost efficiency: Avoid delays and last-minute fixes - swift action limits disruption.
  • Better stakeholder management: Keep leadership informed with ready-made plans and reports.
