Seminar - Out of Sight, Out of Business!

Financial Services - Tuesday 29th November 2011

The Data Protection Act 1998 has been around for a number of years now and frankly has probably not been treated as seriously as it should by many organisations; be they commercial, not for profit, private or public sector. Research undertaken by the British Standards Institute (BSI) resulted in 1 in 5 organisations admitting that they may have unwittingly committed a breach, not simply by failing to hold personal information securely but by neglect of other legal obligations. The risks surrounding the collection, management and use of personal data have increased. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the entity charged with overseeing and enforcing the Act, has the power to fine organisations up to £500,000 for serious contraventions of the Act. Securing information assets should be a top priority for all organisations.
