Jon Boutcher said the error is set to cost hundreds of millions of pounds was due to a systems failure
No disciplinary action is being taken against anyone involved in the PSNI data breach, the chief constable has said.
The list included the surname and first initial of every employee, their rank or grade, where they are based and the unit in which they work.The PSNI has previously indicated that the data breach could potentially cost the organisation £240 million in security and compensation payouts to officers. The review headed by Pete O’Doherty, temporary commissioner from the City of London Police, said a “siloed approach” to information management functions was also a strong contributory factor. The report, which made 37 recommendations, said structures within the force for dealing with data were “outdated”.
“None of those officers or staff obviously came to work for that to happen that morning,” Mr Boutcher replied.
