Or 2% of global turnover. Applies to technical measures (e.g., failure to appoint a DPO, poor vendor contracts).

Higher Tier (Art. 83(5))

Max: €20 Million

Or 4% of global turnover. Applies to fundamental rights (e.g., consent violations, data subject rights, unlawful processing).

Mitigating Factors

Action: Did you take immediate steps to mitigate damage?

History: Do you have a clean track record?

Cooperation: Did you notify the DPA proactively?

Negligence: Was the breach intentional or due to laziness?

Category: Did it involve sensitive data (medical, political)?
