Story: Home Office axes data-loss firm's contract

And still incompetent management....

Such cavalier attitude to data storage handling and protection should by now be a thing of the past. One would have expected that competent management would have introduced very effective systems and controls to prevent copying of data onto portable storage with severely limited exception. Such exceptions should always be the personal and legal responsibility of a senior person until wiped. Where back up is required it should be made to a distant non-portable storage device in a secure location where it can not be physically accessed.
Loss of data must be made a criminal offence. Not only must heads roll in this instance, the Company concerned must be banned from all public contracts for 10 years.
