The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has recently become much more
vocal about its role and resources – and also about how the government handles
data.
The agency, which is independent of the government but funded by it, called
the data breach at the HMRC a “watershed” moment in privacy, and has generally
suggested that it is time for the government, and the UK in general, to get its
data house in order.
Such calls have been a long time coming. The ICO has often been described as
a toothless watchdog, so any increases in powers and financing that it gets will
be welcome. Its stance in relation to the recent data breaches should also
provide a warning to UK firms that if the agency is willing to publicly
criticise its own paymaster, it is likely to take just as tough – or tougher – a
line with other organisations.
