There was also the study done by the Universoty of Glamorgan which bought disk drives from computer fairs etc and found that on half attempts at wiping personal details off them had been unsuccessful
Additions:
-
Data destruction. When that old PC is disposed of, what is done to the disk drive? One local authority drilled a hole through theirs believing it made it safe. Regrettably only the data with a hole in it was destroyed.
-
Global CRM systems. Who can view what? And is any of that data in Spain? Are model contracts or BCRs in place? Safe Harbor is amusing, but insufficient
-
Does the Business Continuity Plan have Data Privacy embedded inside it? A major fire is not a reason to erode individuals' rights, nor an excuse for doing so
One to file!
Thanks
Nick

-
Physical security of laptops - that Nationwide thing is relevant, though the fine is only really for FSA regulated orgs
-
Personal trawls through data for own purposes are unlawful. Bank employees have lost their jobs over this, so have Police computer users
-
Important to monitor free text fields for compliance. Remember Airbus Industrie and Clifford Chance? There was also a letter addressed to "Dear Black Bastard" by a gas company because the data had been altered to make that inevitable by a disaffected employee.
-
Monitor conditional fields for correctness. My aunt, when 80, was told that she could not have a free TV licence because she was not yet whatever the age is. Yet they had her date of birth correct.
Best I can do at short notice.
