Process steps

1

Identify the breach

1 day from previous step
task
Something's leaked. Figure out what data, how much, and how it happened. The clock starts now. Write down the exact time you found out. For GDPR, you've got 72 hours from when you "know" - not when you're done investigating. That timeline matters a lot.
2

Contain the breach

1 day from previous step
task
Stop more data from leaking. Disable compromised accounts. Close exposed endpoints. Do it now. Contain first, investigate later. Every minute the breach keeps spreading means more customers affected and more regulators asking tough questions.
3

Determine scope and impact

1 day from previous step
task
What data was exposed? How many people? Which jurisdictions? This decides who you've got to notify and when. Be thorough but fast. You need answers to tell regulators and customers. Guessing wrong either way causes real problems.
4

Notify legal and regulatory authorities

1 day from previous step
task
72 hours for GDPR notification. State laws vary - some are faster. Your legal team needs to hear about this right away. Don't wait until you have all the answers. Regulators understand you're still investigating. What they won't forgive is silence.
5

Notify affected customers

1 day from previous step
task
Be straight, be clear, be helpful. Tell them what happened, what you're doing about it, and what they should do next. Offer credit monitoring if financial data was exposed. It's expensive, but it's cheaper than a lawsuit.
6

Implement remediation

1 day from previous step
task
Fix what broke. Patch the vulnerability. Change the credentials. Whatever let this happen - make sure it can't happen again. Don't just fix the symptom. Find the root cause. If it was a phishing email, why didn't your controls catch it?
7

Complete post-breach analysis

1 day from previous step
task
What did we learn? What needs to change? Document everything - regulators will want to see it. This isn't just bureaucracy. They'll ask what you've done so it doesn't happen again. Have a good answer ready.

Why Tallyfy is the AI control layer

Phase 1

Set up

Define the recipe

Lay out your steps, deadlines, and who does each: a person, AI, or a rule.

Phase 2

Run

People + AI together

Launch in one click. AI does the routine steps; people approve. No glue code.

Phase 3

Track and improve

Audit and learn

Watch every step live, then refine - a gradual shift, never a total redo.
