The Current State of Data Security
Data security continues to dominate the headlines in the UK with news that companies big and small, across an array of industries, are falling victim to security breaches. These breaches can range from accidentally misplacing customer information to occupational data theft and fraud. With a focus on protecting the confidential information of employees, customers and their organisation, business leaders need to recognise that information security policies and procedures are crucial to protecting their business.
Organisations or individuals that have access to personal data and operate in the UK are required by law to follow the Data Protection Act (DPA). As new threats to data security emerge, governments are required to revise and develop new regulations to protect the personal information of organisations; however, in an ever-changing landscape, businesses struggle to keep up with changes to legislation, placing them at risk of failing to meet information security requirements.
