Massive discount applied to save cop shop’s helicopter budget
Following a data leak that brought"tangible fear of threat to life", the UK's data protection watchdog says it intends to fine the Police Service of Northern Ireland £750,000 .
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. He believes large fines alone aren't an effective punishment as they are in the public sector, and therefore the ICO errs on the side of smaller fines in return for greater engagement with the data watchdog itself and greater investment into data protection.
The PSNI's deputy chief constable Chris Todd said the news of the fine is"regrettable" given the force's financial struggles, and it will be speaking with the ICO to try to reduce the sum. "An investigation to identify those who are in possession of the information and criminality linked to the data loss continues. Detectives have conducted numerous searches and have made a number of arrests as part of this investigation.
