Meldplicht datalekken: Wbp vs. Verordening?

The recently introduced obligation to report personal data breaches under the Dutch Data Protection Act (Wet bescherming persoonsgegevens or "WBP") and the adoption of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") earlier this year, have been attracting attention. By introducing the obligation to report data breaches, the Dutch government clearly anticipated the GDPR – which was expected to include some sort of notification obligation. The GDPR has now entered into force and will apply from 25 May 2018. As it turns out, the WBP's provisions regarding data breach notification are not in full agreement with the GDPR's.
