109,000 Pensions Trust records lost

Once again a huge amount of peoples data goes walking out the door on a stolen laptop.

The laptop was stolen from the company that developed the database for Pensions Trust.  Data included: addresses, NI numbers, salaries and bank account details. In an all too common pattern the data was not encrypted.

It is key that if you are entrusting third-parties with your customer data that you specify the security level, and audit rights to ensure observation. 

If you have concerns about your data with third-parties contact FaberBrent for advice.
