WikitipICO fine Stoke-on-Trent City Council for not sending secure emailThe Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has fined Stoke-on-Trent City Council for not adhering to the Data Protection Act. The council sent a sensitive email to the wrong recipient, which contained information about a child protection legal case. If the information were sent as a secure email there would not have been a problem, but because a solicitor from the legal team sent it unencrypted the council received a fine of £120,000. However, the ICO found that the council already had a process in place to make sure information was sent as a secure email but they did not take the time to ensure all departments were trained and had the encryption software available to use. The council have now put strict regulations in place and made sure all their staff is fully trained on the practice of sending secure emails. It is surprising that they did not act sooner as in 2010 they had a similar incident with a removable storage device in which important data was loss. It proves that the ICO are constantly checking businesses and fining any that are not following the Act. Make sure you are fully compliant as it really isn’t hard, and will save you a lot of time and money. |
Featured Case StudyFinancial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. |
