In the three weeks between 6 March and 31 March, our Data Protection and Information Security Team (DPIST) was notified of 67 new Information Security Incidents. It’s often hard to appreciate just how serious an Information Security Incident can be. When simple mistakes happen – for example, information sent to the wrong email or postal address, or a document is included in an envelope in error – the reporting of those incidents to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) might seem excessive; after all, what’s the worst that can happen?
With the school holidays and three bank holiday weekends coming up, now could be a good time to check what's on offer on Devon Discounts. This portal provides offers for staff, including offers for travel and entertainment.
