Data watchdog keeps eye on U.K. businesses
Andy McCue writes in Silicom.com:
The UK's data protection watchdog has established a new unit to target possible misuse of personal information collected by businesses.
The launch of the Regulatory Action Division (RAD) by the Information Commission comes in the same week the National Consumer Council (NCC) warned that tougher and better policed data protection legislation is needed to deal with the increasing amounts of personal information collected by organisations.
Assistant commissioner David Smith said the unit aims to make life tougher for the "minority" of businesses who flout data protection laws.
