Shocking - The DWP do not keep records of how many times your data has been abused

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has admitted (when asked) that it compiles no data on how often the Customer Information System (CIS) database is breached or inappropriately accessed.

There are around 200,000 personnel who routinely use the database.

"Central records are not maintained of this information and thus it is not possible to answer your request without collecting this information," the DWP told Computer Weekly in answer to a Freedom of Information request. It said collecting the information would be too costly.
