That BT were not registered for 3 months is not a reputational issue. The
UKIC generally is content for firms to admit to late notification and to
regularise the situation
That BT's SMS Self Service did not comply was a reputational issue
B4U's use of old data is a reputational issue
Clifford Chance's Airbus Industrie farrago is a reputational issue
I do not want to be the person that chose not to care and thus caused my
organisation to be pilloried over non compliance.

"Reputation" has always been the argument against non-compliance but it has
been proven over and over again that big organisations have enough cache to
fix any non-compliance problem. Remember BT, who weren't even on ICO's DP
register until we pointed this out to them? How did this damage their
reputation?
I think it's the small organisations that are under threat and until the
tables turn, we - the individuals who care about compliance - will remain a
small community.

Ask your accountant what value he puts on his own and/or the
organisation's reputation and how much is a large sum.
A couple of a years ago an accountant was fined £10K with £5K costs for a
s55 offence plus named and shamed in the Commissioner’s annual report.
Bet that looked good on the professional CV.
And yes some people have lost their jobs – usually following the criminal
conviction that brought them to notice.
Don’t want to get it wrong too many times then!
