A number of high-profile data breaches have eroded public faith in the ability of government and businesses to protect their information - and it is vital that changes are made to restore that faith.
silicon.com’s Full Disclosure campaign calls for a rethink of the UK law so that organisations will have to report breaches of their data security that could put their customers, sensitive personal information at risk. This special report investigates why the UK needs to rethink its data legislation, and brings you the views of the experts involved.
