Recent Caerphilly council data protection incident investigated<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A spokesperson in the wake of the Caerphilly council data protection incident said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident has been investigated and has drawn to a close. Measures have been taken to reduce risk of a similar incident occurring in future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) has been informed about the incident. With the GDPR at their disposal since May 2018, they can issue fines in the millions of pounds to data breach offenders.<\/p>\n
