Publisher's Synopsis
Data insecurity can cripple businesses. The Information Commissioner makes large organisations pay fines of millions of pounds for data security breaches. Google and others have had to face the possibility of representative actions claiming compensation for data breaches on behalf of millions of users.
This book is written for both organisations and individuals. It brings together the legislation, policies and procedures needed to navigate enforcement in data protection law when things may have gone wrong.
