However, this does not guarantee absolute protection against certain risks involving the processing of personal data, such as when systems are exposed to targeted cyberattacks, malware, ransomware, and computer viruses or when manual records are accessed without authority. 

However, adequate policies are in place to ensure appropriate security incident management in line with existing National Privacy Commission (NPC) policies, circulars, and other issuances.
