As part of their strategy for a data- and risk-based effort, the Danish Data Protection Authority has chosen to present statistics on security breaches. 📊

Since April 2020, the Danish Data Protection Authority has statistics on data breaches and we have made a percentage calculation of the Danish Data Protection Authority's categories of security breaches. (source Danish data protection authority December 2022)

2. Disclosure 11.8%

3. Incorrect information to correct recipient 9.4%

4. Letter mail lost 9.0%
