Description
Consultation on the use and sharing of personal information in the public and private sector: IET comments to the Data Sharing Review Secretariat.
Abstract
There are broadly four business scenarios which require data to be shared: transaction-based sharing; case management sharing; research, audit and system testing; and system application and data sharing. Each presents different opportunities, but also different levels and types of risk. Whilst strong encryption techniques, both within networks and computer storage devices, should be adopted wherever there is significant risk of data loss and personal information exposure, there are other new technologies and techniques that should be considered for wider adoption.
