With Adobe's emphasis on protecting your organization's and users' data, in the event of a security incident involving our software solutions, notifications are sent to the appropriate compliance officers.
Enterprises have their own personnel whose role is specific to data protection, integrity, and other compliance matters. Therefore, contact information for such personnel is critical to help ensure prompt notification in the event of a security incident.
