- RE: Worker suspended over loss of data on all English prisoners
-
Losing the device is a mistake, storing the data 'unencrypted' is negligent. This sounds like insufficient risk management policies to me.
If the staff member did not vialote any policies, he/she should not wear the punishment for this (although I suppose there was a "don't lose things" policy).
A few simple policies could have reduced/prevented the consequences and likelihood of this. E.g. encryption, data transport restriction and/or even a simple device-tethering policy (such as keeping it round your neck or attached to a lanyard...).
