vendor-breach-cascadeVendor breach notification cascade management per GDPR Article 33(2).
Vendor Breach Cascade is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Vendor breach notification cascade management per GDPR Article 33(2). Covers processor-to-controller notification without undue delay, escalation paths, coordinated multi-party breach response, liability allocation, and regulatory notification coordination.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/standards.md` and `references/workflows.md`).
It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Privacy and GDPR and Security operations. The repository describes itself as: 282+ structured privacy & data protection skills for AI agents. GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, HIPAA, LGPD, PIPL, DPDP Act. The licence is Apache-2.0.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b2ef9e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Vendor Breach Cascade loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,154 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

This skill also uses 4 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.GDPR Article 33(2) requires that a processor notify the controller "without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach." This obligation creates a notification cascade: the processor must notify the controller promptly, enabling the controller to assess and notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours per Article 33(1), and to notify affected data subjects per Article 34 where there is a high risk to their rights and freedoms.
The EDPB Guidelines 9/2022 on personal data breach notification emphasize that "without undue delay" for processor-to-controller notification should be interpreted strictly — the processor should notify as soon as it has established that a breach has occurred, even if full details are not yet available. DPA-specific timeframes (e.g., 24 hours) may be contractually imposed.
At Summit Cloud Partners, the Vendor Breach Notification Cascade Protocol ensures rapid, coordinated response when a vendor reports a personal data breach.
BREACH OCCURS AT VENDOR (PROCESSOR)
│
├─► T+0: Vendor detects breach
│
├─► T+[DPA timeframe]: Vendor notifies Summit Cloud Partners
│ (DPA standard: within 24 hours of becoming aware)
│ Required content per DPA:
│ ├─ Nature of the breach
│ ├─ Categories and approximate number of data subjects
│ ├─ Categories and approximate number of records
│ ├─ DPO/contact point name and details
│ ├─ Description of likely consequences
│ └─ Measures taken or proposed
│
├─► T+0 to T+72h (from controller awareness): Summit Cloud Partners
│ assesses and decides on supervisory authority notification
│ (Article 33(1): within 72 hours, unless unlikely to result
│ in risk to data subjects)
│
├─► If high risk to data subjects: Summit Cloud Partners notifies
│ affected data subjects per Article 34
│
└─► If sub-processors involved: Vendor ensures sub-processor
cascade notification (sub-processor → processor → controller)| Notification | GDPR Requirement | Summit Cloud Partners DPA Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Processor → Controller | "Without undue delay" (Art. 33(2)) | Within 24 hours of becoming aware |
| Controller → Supervisory Authority | Within 72 hours (Art. 33(1)) | Within 72 hours |
| Controller → Data Subjects | "Without undue delay" (Art. 34(1)) | As soon as practicable after SA notification |
| Sub-processor → Processor | Per sub-processor DPA | Within 12 hours of becoming aware |
Upon receiving breach notification from vendor:
| Step | Action | Responsible | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Log notification in breach register | Privacy Team on-call | Immediate |
| 1.2 | Verify notification came from authorized vendor contact | Privacy Team | 15 minutes |
| 1.3 | Acknowledge receipt to vendor | Privacy Team | 30 minutes |
| 1.4 | Alert Summit Cloud Partners Breach Response Team | Privacy Team | 30 minutes |
| 1.5 | Classify initial severity | Breach Response Team Lead | 1 hour |
| 1.6 | Activate appropriate response level | Breach Response Team Lead | 1 hour |
Severity Classification:
| Level | Criteria | Response Level |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Special category data exposed; > 10,000 data subjects; criminal access confirmed | Full incident response — all hands |
| High | Sensitive data exposed; 1,000-10,000 data subjects; active threat | Expanded response team |
| Medium | Standard personal data exposed; < 1,000 data subjects; contained | Core response team |
| Low | Limited exposure; pseudonymized data; no evidence of access | Privacy Team + InfoSec lead |
| Step | Action | Responsible |
|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Request detailed incident report from vendor | Privacy Team |
| 2.2 | Identify affected Summit Cloud Partners data and data subjects | Privacy Team + IT |
| 2.3 | Assess whether breach is "likely to result in a risk" (Art. 33(1) threshold) | DPO |
| 2.4 | Assess whether breach results in "high risk" (Art. 34(1) threshold) | DPO |
| 2.5 | Coordinate with vendor on containment confirmation | InfoSec Team |
| 2.6 | Determine if other controllers are affected (multi-tenant breach) | Privacy Team |
| 2.7 | Engage legal counsel if liability implications exist | Legal Team |
| 2.8 | Draft preliminary supervisory authority notification (if threshold met) | DPO + Legal |
Vendor Information Requests:
| Information Required | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Root cause analysis (even preliminary) | Understand attack vector and likelihood of ongoing risk |
| Exact data categories compromised | Assess risk to data subjects |
| Exact data subject count or best estimate | Determine notification scope |
| Timeline: when breach occurred, when detected, when contained | Assess detection capability |
| Containment measures implemented | Verify threat neutralized |
| Evidence of data exfiltration (yes/confirmed no/unknown) | Critical for risk assessment |
| Impact on other clients (for multi-tenant breach) | Coordination requirement |
| Forensic investigation status and expected completion | Planning input |
| Decision | Criteria | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Notify SA | Breach likely to result in risk to data subjects | File notification within 72 hours of awareness |
| Do not notify SA | Breach unlikely to result in risk (documented assessment) | Document decision and rationale; retain in breach register |
| Notify in phases | Cannot provide full details within 72 hours | File initial notification within 72 hours; provide updates as available |
Article 33(3) Notification Content:
| Required Element | Description |
|---|---|
| (a) | Nature of the breach including categories and approximate number of data subjects and records |
| (b) | Name and contact details of DPO or other contact point |
| (c) | Likely consequences of the breach |
| (d) | Measures taken or proposed to address the breach and mitigate effects |
Article 34(1) requires notification to data subjects when the breach "is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons."
Exemptions (Article 34(3)):
Notification Content:
| Activity | Responsible | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor vendor's ongoing investigation | Privacy Team | Ongoing |
| Request and review vendor's root cause analysis | Privacy Team + InfoSec | Within 30 days |
| Assess vendor's remediation plan | Privacy Team + InfoSec | Within 30 days |
| Verify remediation implementation | InfoSec | Within 60 days |
| Update vendor risk score | Privacy Team | Immediate |
| Evaluate contractual remedies | Legal Team | Within 30 days |
| Conduct lessons-learned review | Breach Response Team | Within 90 days |
The DPA should address breach-related liability:
| Provision | Description |
|---|---|
| Processor indemnification | Processor indemnifies controller for losses caused by processor breach (including fines to the extent legally permissible) |
| Cooperation obligation | Processor must cooperate fully with controller's investigation and regulatory notifications |
| Forensic costs | Allocation of forensic investigation costs |
| Notification costs | Allocation of data subject notification costs |
| Credit monitoring | Allocation of credit monitoring / identity protection costs for affected data subjects |
| Regulatory engagement | Processor must participate in regulatory inquiries |
| Limitation of liability | Carve-out for data protection breaches from general liability caps (where negotiable) |
When a breach at a sub-processor or infrastructure provider affects multiple processors and controllers:
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Sub-processor | Notify all affected processors; provide consistent information |
| Processor (Vendor) | Notify all affected controllers; coordinate information flow |
| Controller (Summit Cloud Partners) | Assess own impact; make own regulatory notification decisions |
| Lead Supervisory Authority | May coordinate cross-border notifications if multiple EU/EEA controllers affected |

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Vendor Breach Cascade needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Vendor Breach Cascade is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
