The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) found that unclear cyber responsibility in a UK police unit contributed to breaches of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This highlights gaps in data governance and accountability within law enforcement bodies holding personal data.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Unclear cyber roles in UK police now carry GDPR risk. You must tighten data responsibility inside organisations holding sensitive info to avoid fines and operational risk.
