DATA PROTECTION FINES

What are Data Protection Fines?

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) can impose data breach fines up to a 4% of the offending organisation’s turnover in the preceding financial year.

Some of the biggest fines have been to companies such as British Airways (£20M), Marriott Hotels (£99M) and Yahoo (£85M). Facebook narrowly escaped a huge fine, which could have been as high as £10.3 billion had the GDPR been in effect.
