Synopsis:

The 1984 Data Protection Act sets out eight principles to be followed by computer users. The eighth states that "appropriate security measures shall be taken against unauthorised access to, or alteration, disclosure or destruction of, personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of personal data". Which security measures are appropriate? This guide, which has the approval of the Data Protection Registrar, explains what measures may be necessary to comply with the Act and gives advice on practical steps to implement security. Topics covered include: what security entails; physical security; logical security; personnel; development and maintenance of systems; handling of data and information; contingency planning and audit.
