The scenario

What happens

You discover that a cloud environment or database has accidentally been made public. Due to an incorrect setting, the data can be accessed without a password. It is unclear how long this has been the case and who may have viewed the data. The setting must be amended immediately so that the data is protected again. At the same time, you must assess which data is affected, whether this constitutes a data breach that you are required to report, and which data subjects you need to inform.
