0the EDPS has been awarded at the GPA Awards in the Accountability category for two strategic initiatives to enhance personal data breach management across EU institutions: The Data Breach Awareness Campaign and PATRICIA Exercise - Personal dATa bReach awareness In Cybersecurity Incident hAndling!
The Data Breach Awareness Campaign, targeted at selected participants, was structured to assess existing breach management practices, identify critical areas, evaluate process implementation, and provide tailored recommendations.
In addition, together with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), we jointly organised two table-top exercises in Brussels. The initiative was designed to raise awareness among staff from European Union Institutions on how to effectively manage personal data breaches.
This recognition by the Global Privacy Assembly highlights the value of joint initiatives where supervisory authorities build capacity, foster collaboration, and promote continuous improvement in data protection.
We thank the Global Privacy Assembly for this recognition and remain committed to strengthening cooperation and preparedness in the protection of personal data.
2025 marks the 13th Anniversary of the European Cybersecurity Month. Join forces with the EU institutions, bodies and agencies in an annual awareness campaign to strengthen cybersecurity among Europeans.

1 Read it nowThe European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) have adopted a letter, addressed to the European Commission, on the upcoming proposal on the simplification of record-keeping obligation under the GDPR, amounting to a targeted amendment of Art. 30(5) GDPR.
The joint letter replies to the letter sent by the European Commission to the EDPB and the EDPS on 6 May 2025 where the Commission explained how it intends to introduce specific modifications to the GDPR. The EDPB and EDPS understand that a formal consultation will take place after the publication of the proposed legislative change.
The EDPB and EDPS shared that, at this stage, they could express preliminary support to this targeted simplification initiative, bearing in mind that this would not affect the obligation of controllers and processors to comply with other GDPR obligations. Nevertheless, the EDPB and EDPS asked the Commission to better evaluate the impact on the organisation subject to this change, to assess whether the draft proposal ensure a proportionate and fair balance between the protection of personal data and the interests of organisations with less than 500 employees.
