Email Encryption 

If you are the data controller for your organisation, do you know what is happening to your data, who has access to it, and what they are doing with it? Do you even know who your data controller is?

The Information Commissioner now has extended powers under the Data Protection Act to impose a maximum fine of £500,000 for a serious data breach.

The Act is very clever in its wording; 

“.....having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures, the measures must ensure a level of security that is appropriate...” 

so, in effect, the legislation cannot become outdated!

To quote from a recent statement; 

“The Information Commissioner has formed the view that in future, where such losses occur and where encryption software has not been used to protect the data, enforcement action will be pursued”,

no ifs, buts or maybes
