@ICOnews Mr Takagi died because of restricted access to passwords linked to a role based access policy.

Nakatomi Plaza had seven levels of security in the festive classic Die Hard but it wasn’t enough. Staff training and restricting access to data might have made it a different kind of Christmas for John McClane. Here are tips to keep your systems safe: ico.org.uk/for-organisati…

The Gist: Too Wrong to Fix The Irish Government has been telling people its mass surveillance law didn't need to be submitted to the EU. Then, just before Christmas, they tried anyway. This is the Gist. thegist.ie/the-gist-too-w…

@IGWales The case to cite when writing back to them is Ferguson v British Gas.

@jmkirl @Russ_Parsons1 I got one of those from a grateful client today as well. Need to see how much of it survives to be divvied up with the rest of the @cbridgeinfo team.

@EUombudsman did miss an opportunity, in my view, to extend this monitoring by @EU_Commission to all EU Member State Supervisory Authorities as a standard monitoring measure.

Baffling to me how some commentators take the Ombudsman decision as requiring new monitoring to be undertaken when this is their official summary. Improvements are always welcome and it's an important role of an Ombudsman to give that independent feedback.

(6/6) @iccltweet's opening paragraph in their press release perhaps can be read as "@EUombudsman tells @EU_Commission to keep doing what they are doing but improve it".

@ICCLtweet @EUombudsman @DPCIreland (5/n) The @EUombudsman suggestion for improvement in the process amounts to "stick it in a structured spreadsheet lads and ladies, so it can be tracked more easily". Not a damning indictment of @DPCIreland by any means.

@ICCLtweet @EUombudsman (4/n) In @EUombudsman conclusion "The European Commission’s practice of obtaining a bi-monthly overview from the @dpcireland on the latter’s handling of ‘big tech’ cases, including cross border cases, is appropriate and in line with good administration."

Hmm.. I think the @ICCLtweet headline here is a bit misleading.. bit.ly/3v4K9oN The @EUombudsman didn't introduce a new monitoring requirement. They looked at an existing monitoring measure.... (1/n)

I am currently at my wits end with @DataGuidance and their crappy password reset process and non-existent support.

As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea.
