The ICO announced on Thursday that it had set up an inquiry into the images leak.
It said the Department of Health and Social Care and the security and property management firm Emcor had submitted a complaint, alleging the CCTV stills had been taken without permission.
Officers searched two homes in southern England on Thursday, seizing personal computer equipment and electronic devices.
suggesting that actually the DHSC has complained to the ICO about someone else. Maybe a private individual ?
Shouldn’t matter as the DHSC will be the data controller so the ICO will determine how the data was removed and whether adequate security was in place to stop it from happening in most cases.
If they were lax in security they should get a fine, I’ve never heard of the ICO investigating the people who leaked the info as that would be a Police or criminal matter. The ICO should only care about the data breach and its implications not who did it.
I am doing a crown commercial contract for a phone system with screen and call recording at the moment so have gone through the data protection schedules already (43x call off schedules of wanky lawyer speak)
Still doesn’t make me an expert but the DPIA (data protection impact assesment) is quite clear on data controller and processor etc.
When do we get the St George’s day parade complete with out-of-date missiles, WRAFs in high heels, pox-ridden aircraft carriers and one-of-only-4999-eigth-soverign-9ct-gold-plate celebration?
I don’t think that there is a simple figure. The NHS often repurposes wards based on demand, so could create many Covid wards as needed, as long as it has the staff.
I suppose we will only know what that threshold is if they reintroduce some or all lockdown measures. Anything below that level will be seen as a success.
