A controller must notify ANSPDCP within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal-data breach, and notify the affected individual without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk. Both commentary sources agree there is no Romanian-specific derogation from this timeline; DLA Piper adds a procedural detail that controllers notify using a special notification form, not independently verified against primary text.
