Kevin,
I was also at the DP conference and my understanding is that the ICO would
assist and educate in most cases but a few exceptional cases may result in
enforcement. For example if HMRC had been aware that their breach was
about to become public knowledge, it would be wrong to voluntary notify
the ICO about it in order to escape any action.
Many Thanks

Re: [data-protection] Firm selling data for years
I was at the ICO?s conference in Manchester on Wednesday and they were
discussing their new powers there. Scariest one is the voluntary
notification of breaches which seems to have moved the goal-posts
considerably. When it was launched last year the ICO said that they would
not use voluntary notification as a way to beat down transgressors but
would look to provide them with help to overcome the problem and guidance
to go forward. Now the Info Security team are saying that they will
investigate all breaches and take action against severe breaches
regardless and, once the new powers under the C&J Act come in, they will
look to hefty fines and prison sentences where they consider it
appropriate.
Hands up now, who wants to voluntarily notify a breach under such
conditions?????
