Data Breach Response Checklist

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

This page helps you build a personal response plan after a data breach. You select what type of data was exposed, and the page generates a prioritized checklist organized by time: what to do in the first hour, the first day, the first week, and what to keep doing over the next several months.

Each step includes a short explanation of why it matters. Your progress is saved in your browser so you can come back and check items off over time.

Start by picking the type of data that was compromised. You can select more than one.
