If you ever wonder why good data practices, data privacy and data protection is important, see below.
People will argue that technology can and does solve this. They would be wrong. Technology augments culture. It is the culture that instils a respect for other peoples’ data. It is a culture that drives this respect from the top.
The technology that I and my colleagues introduce and help develop for enterprise organisations can and does help with compliance of all sorts of regulations, but if the individuals charged with this see data privacy as an obstacle or a threat to their business then they will struggle with their data protection/privacy compliance.
Good data practices come from respect and trust. The respect a company shows for other peoples data. The trust that is born and earnt out of this respect.
This is something that will become more and more apparent as this story unfolds. I wonder how much this will cost both of these organisations and what they will do, if they can, to restore the trust that such a public event has cost them?
