FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Breach Notification Timeline Calculator computes deadlines for regulatory, individual, and media notification across GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, SEC, and state breach notification laws.
What affects the result most?
GDPR: 72 hours to notify supervisory authority from becoming aware — Art 33. HIPAA: 60 days from discovery to notify individuals; 60 days for HHS; media if 500+ in state. PCI DSS: immediately notify card brands and acquirer when compromise suspected.
How should I use the result?
The calculation is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same output — so the most useful workflow is to vary one input at a time and see which factor moves the result most. That tells you where to focus your attention before committing to a decision.
