This one almost escaped us as a newsworthy item! We were busy helping a
client move towards full DP Compliance and the Italian deadline popped up as
30 June 2004. I've added the item to our site's XML/RSS Newsfeed, so those
who have newsreaders will see it at whatever that interval is. Otherwise
the Italian pages in our Data Protection Library show the extension to 31
December 2004. Awkward little thing a deadline, but at least the Italians
are pragmatic about it. Wisely they want evidence of a Data Security
Policy, which I feel is no bad thing. I only just had time to add it to the
site.
Mind you a "policy" is as much use as any certificate. "Our security policy
is zero security" is a policy, it's even *valid*, but not wise!
