The Importance of Security Shedding

The Data Protection Act 1988 stipulates that every organisation has a legal responsibility to safeguard the privacy of anyone whose information they hold.  This applies to the life of the data when it is in your possession, and it also applies to the disposal of the data once it has been used.

Principle 7 of the Data Protection Act says that:

This means that your organisation has a responsibility to destroy the data it holds so that it can no longer be used. If you do not comply with this legislation, you could be liable to prosecution from the Information Commissioner’s Office with a fine up to £500,000 fine, and your organisation may also have to pay compensation to individuals who suffer loss, damage or distress as a result of your actions.
