Government Technology

The majority of high profile data breaches in 2007/2008 were singularly attributed to human error.  Governmental reviews on data security have pinpointed “….an absence of proper awareness and training among staff and confusion on the ownership and guardian of data.”  The Information Commissioner, Richard Thomas, ended 2008 by firmly placing accountability with the Chief Executives and CEO of Government agencies, calling on them to take responsibility for the information held within their organisations.  2009s increases in the ICO’s powers and sanctions will ensure that taking responsibility will become a reality for those at the helm of these organisations.
