Not only is data critical to the continuity of operations, through various legislature, not least the Data Protection Act (the UK’s answer to the European Union’s GDPR), data breaches can have a devastating impact on finances, future ambitions, and reputation.
The Data Protection Act (2018), which came into force on May 25th, 2018, represented the EU’s most significant strengthening and unification of data protection protocols in a generation. The demands it has placed on organisations that handle data are such that contraventions can lead to severe penalties, from intrusive ICO inspections, to restrictions on data usage, to debilitating fines.
