Systems and Methods for Managing Data Incidents

A risk assessment server for managing a data incident, the server comprising:

• a memory for storing executable instructions;
• a processor for executing the instructions;
• an input module stored in memory and executable by the processor to receive data incident data, the data incident data comprising information corresponding to the data incident;
• a risk assessment generator stored in memory and executable by the processor to generate a risk assessment from a comparison of the data incident data to privacy rules, the privacy rules comprising at least one federal rule and at least one state rule, each of the rules defining requirements associated with data incident notification laws;
• and
• a user interface module stored in memory and executable by the processor to provide the risk assessment to a display device that selectively couples with the risk assessment server.

A method for managing a data incident, comprising:

• receiving, via a risk assessment server, data incident data that comprises information corresponding to the data incident;
• automatically generating, via the risk assessment server, a risk assessment from a comparison of the data incident data to privacy rules, the privacy rules comprising at least one federal rule and at least one state rule, each of the rules defining requirements associated with data incident notification laws;
• providing, via the risk assessment server, the risk assessment to a display device that selectively couples with the risk assessment server;
• receiving one or more selections of one or more states;
• selecting one or more state statutes based upon the one or more selections;
• and
• generating at least one state rule based upon a selected state statute.

• and
• a rule generator stored in memory and executable by the processor to:
• generate the at least one federal rule from a federal statute that governs privacy breaches relative to protected health information (PHI);
• or
• generate the at least one state rule from a state statute that governs privacy breaches relative to at least one of personally identifiable information (PII), PHI, or combinations thereof.
