A good reputation is hard won but easy to lose. PwC, which ranks as the second largest professional services firm in the world, will no doubt be reflecting on that over worked saying, following the news that it has been fined for failing to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
British Airways is one of the first organisations to have a major data breach since the enforcement of GDPR, which started on May 25th 2018, following the news that around 380,000 names and credit card information, including the CV2, had been stolen. Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence asked me recently to write an article on the breach, outlining the reasons it happened and to provide practical advice to organisations large or small that want to avoid a similar incident affecting their business.
More than one year on from the General Data Protection Regulation, which came into force on 25th May 2018, the news that British Airways is to be fined more than £183m by the Information Commissioner’s Office after hackers stole the personal data of half a million of the airline’s customers will come as no surprise, says insurance, risk management and data privacy expert Darren Wray. Fifth Step’s CEO Wray says, however, that even at this early stage of the investigation it could be that BA's parent company got off lightly, writing for YouTalk Insurance.
