The Polish DPA (UODO) has fined Warsaw University of Technology EUR 10,000. The university had reported a data breach to the authority pursuant to Art. 33 GDPR. One of the university's organizational units used an application created by university staff to register for courses and access teaching history, assessment of exam results and billing of fees. In early January 2020, an unauthorized person had downloaded a database from the application that contained personal data of students and faculty (over 5,000 individuals). In its investigation, the DPA found that the Unvierstät had failed to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures that ensured the security of personal data . The DPA also found that the university had not conducted a formal risk assessment.
