The Police Service of Northern Ireland could be fined £750,000 for a major data breach last year.the PSNI confirmed that the information was in the hands of dissident republicans, among others.
In provisional findings announced Thursday, UK Information Commissioner John Edwards said: “The sensitivities in Northern Ireland and the unprecedented nature of this breach created a perfect storm of risk and harm – and show how damaging poor data security can be." The PSNI has also been issued with a preliminary enforcement notice, requiring the Service to improve the security of personal information when responding to FOI requests.
That review, which was commissioned by the PSNI and the Policing Board, was conducted by Pete O'Doherty, temporary commissioner of the City of London Police.
