✦ Synopsis

Butterworths Data Security Law & Practice is focused on the security imperative making it uniquely practical and readily usable by in-house lawyers, security specialists and their advisors in private practice. As data security breaches attract greater media attention, increasing public alarm is generating pressure for tougher law and harsher regulatory responses. In the current climate, businesses, public authorities and their advisors need to ensure a solid understanding of the pitfalls and control measures.

The book is fully up to date, covering the recent Data Handling Review and its implications for the public sector, the FSA's stance on breach notification and its ever increasing fines, as well as the ICO's guidance. It also provides a detailed explanation of the implications for data controllers' breach handling strategies.
