Information Security for Hybrid Working | IT Governance UK

This is especially important when it comes to maintaining your compliance with data protection law. If you breach the UK DPA (Data Protection Act) 2018, UK GDPR (General Data Protection Act), or EU GDPR, you could face fines of up to £17.5 million (under the DPA 2018 and UK GDPR), €20 million (under the EU GDPR) or 4% of your annual global turnover – whichever is greater. Regulators such as the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) made allowances for the pressure the pandemic put organizations under. Now that restrictions are lifted, however, they will be less lenient, so it is essential to put the necessary security measures in place if you are making hybrid working permanent. IT Governance UK can provide all the support you need if your organization has yet to consider the security practicalities of mixing on-site and remote working.
