**Incident Identification and Classification**

1. **High Severity:** Incidents that expose sensitive customer data, impair critical business functions or have legal implications.
2. **Medium Severity:** Incidents that could lead to the above scenarios if not promptly addressed.
3. **Low Severity:** Incidents that have a minimal impact and can be resolved without a coordinated response.

**Incident Response Steps**

1. **Identification:** Any employee who suspects an incident must report it to the Data Protection Officer.
2. **Assessment and Classification:** The incident will be assessed and classified according to its severity.
3. **Containment:** Immediate steps will be taken to contain the incident.
4. Eradication and Recovery: The root cause will be identified, and systems will be monitored to prevent recurrence.
5. **Lessons Learned:** After the incident, a retrospective of the incident will be conducted to identify and implement improvements.

**Reporting and Communication**

1. Internal Reporting: All incidents, regardless of their severity, must be reported internally as per the guidelines.
2. External Reporting: High-severity incidents may require reporting to regulatory bodies, affected customers, or the public, in compliance with applicable laws.

**Review and Updates**

This Policy will be reviewed annually and may be updated more frequently if an incident occurs or in light of regulatory changes.
