piebaps Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Manx Radio and the local authorities except DBC - they held a secret meeting to make it all retrospectively legal🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a handful, as well as the LAs and Manx Radio, CURA and the FiU don't seem to be there. There's one paragraph I missed before which may be very significant: The Commissioner’s investigation commenced following receipt of a personal data breach report, made in accordance with Article 33 of the Applied GDPR, from the Department of Health and Social Care. The personal data breach report is also a protected disclosure under the Employment Act 2006. So this looks like whistleblowing may be involved - is this yet more fall-out from the Ranson case? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read that statement he's issued in reply to the OCSIA press release, he's past that and is already sharpening his teeth. That's what gets me about that press release, it was so completely unnecessary. It's like all those idiotic tweets from Hooper, there seems no reason for them except to demonstrate that he is in control. Which he isn't - as the subsequent fuss illustrates. After McDonald had made it quite clear on numerous other occasions that he would have no patience with civil servants trying to ignore or override him, putting out a press release that was "premature, presumptive and potentially prejudicial" was always going provoke a reaction. It was like sacking Rob Callister and expecting him to keep quiet. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
360 View Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 OCSIA seems to have moved around a bit, in DHA according to its “privacy notice” https://www.ocsia.im/other-pages/privacy-notice/ but also is included in something from Chief Constable’s Annual Report 20/21 https://iompolice.im/media/1476/ocsia.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think- but might be wrong- this means that someone at the DHSC were the ones to notice the issue and reported it. And that person who reported it is protected under employment law. Which, if it’s a “senior official” in Cabinet Office who was (allegedly) doing this, will be a pointed reference by Iain MacDonald. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 If it's a GDPR breach then there will likely be a big fine. But who will pay? The Govt of course, with more tax payers money, so it will not matter one little bit to them. It would be interesting to put in an FOI request to see how much tax payer money the Govt has spunked on pay-offs and fines. It's not like it could be used better elsewhere...

Manx Resident Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Perhaps, if there has been unauthorized access to a computer system there will be a referral to the Police for potential criminal breaches of the Computer Security Act (1975?).

Manx Resident Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 The Act seems to be more up to date than I thought, 1992, should have checked date before typing my opinion. But the point remains…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeCurious Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 And these clowns want us to trust them with digital ID linked to all our data and our ESG & CBDC etc. I don't care how many rules and codes of practise they come up with, there needs to be consequences for the individual involved here. No doubt they'll hide behind the very same rules of data protection that they sort to bypass not once or twice but twelve hundred times. Taking a nice fat pension and early retirement with a non-disclosure agreement with another lump sum At the very least there needs to be a reason given (even if the individuals identity is protected) for why they did it. Now if their excuse will be something along the lines of testing the security blah, blah then they should have documants and records to back that up. Who watches the watchmen? So when the inevitable GDPR fine comes down, we know who pays for it but where does it go? Treasury presumably. And whatever department (Cabinet Office?) will go cap in hand to Treasury to fill the hole. Treasury now having an unexpected surplus the exact same size as the hole in the budget. Therefore, apart from some admin, a zero cost and zero impact fine. And zero resignations 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADELE Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Probably a move to another department with a promotion to boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 ""Despite actively seeking additional funding for an extra member of staff, the existing budget was reduced in the latest budget round." An extra member - just the one? But money to throw away elsewhere. Unfortunately, it is likely that the reduction in the budget was a deliberate act designed to protect MHKs and Civil Servants from scrutiny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
