The Drum's coverage of Sony's breach of the Data Protection Act will be used as a case study. Once you have read the case study you need to reflect on this and how it has affected the organisation and industry.
You should think about the following:
- How do you think this has affected the reputation of the company?
- What consequences could this have on other businesses if it was to happen to them?
- Explain which part of the Data Protection Act you think was broken?
- Think about your own job role, how do you ensure that you follow the Data Protection Act?
- What are the 8 parts to the Data Protection Act?
- Why is it vital that you and your organisation follow the Data Protection Act?
- If your company was to break the Data Protection Act law what could the possible consequences be?
