North West based organisations fined over £800k for flouting current UK data protection laws in 2017
Of the 91 enforcement actions for breaches of current data protection laws taken by the ICO last year, 8 monetary penalties were issued to North West based organisations, totalling £810,000, spanning financial services, marketing/advertising, automotive and local government. With the biggest changes to data protection law for over 20 years coming into force this week, with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organisations risk larger fines in the year ahead if they fail to ensure compliance.
