datatype alert

Alerts are notifications generated by omniac Business when breach incidents for certain attributes are detected. These alerts are crucial for maintaining the security and privacy of users’ data. Each alert contains details about the breach incident, including the type of attribute affected, the source, the time it happened, a criticality classification, short standard description of the incident and a recommendation. Depending on what details are required, the alert payload can be individualized.

We provide these alerts via REST in JSON format. As soon as we detect a breach incident we trigger the configured endpoint from the tenant configuration.

A sample alert payload looks like this:
