Security management Toolkit
Story: Wigan loses unencrypted data on 43,000 children
More policy
And presumably the policy will be that despite the fact that it adds a couple of seconds of their valuable lives onto the time taken to get to the info they want, they must not bypass the security technology.
Purely technological solutions to largely human problems are very seldom effective. The core issue here is not the kit or the security policy, it is that we are all just numbers to the bureaucrats and petty officials that seem to have access to every aspect of our lives these days. While they look at us as sheeple to be counted and filed, rather than human beings with hopes and dreams of our own, they will not take the requisite care of the wealth of highly personal information they have access to.The big question is how do you persuade these arrogant pen pushers that we are not theirs to command and shuffle at will, but that they are our servants; that they are given an almost sacred trust when handed access to our innermost private information.
Fix that one and we'll all be eternally grateful !!
