Recommended: issues with the data protection act 1998

1Legal issues
The Date Protection Act 1998 controls how your personal information is used by businesses, organisations and by individual people. The people who use this data are responsible for it so, they have to follow strict rules which are called ‘data protection principles’. They people using it have to make sure it is:
➢ Used fairly and lawfully
➢ Kept safe and secure
➢ Handled according to peoples data protection acts
➢ Not transferred outside the UK without adequate protection
➢ Used in a way that it is adequate, relevant and not excessive (https://www.gov.uk/data-protection/the-data-protection-act 3/10/13)

There are impacts on organisations and individuals due to the data protection act 1998 being introduced which some of the impacts were that it has to be used fairly and lawfully so when they used the personal information it had to be processed lawfully and that the information is used fairly so the organisations and individuals have to respect it. Another impact is the data must be kept safe and secure which means they have to keep the data in a safe place so not anybody can use it, which they would keep it secure by adding passwords to it so only the individuals and the organisations will be able to view the personal information due to they are responsible of using it. Also they could make it secure enough that it cannot be hacked into so not anybody can view the data whenever they want.

Operational issues
Security is an operational issue as it is important for a organisation to use security such as backups to protect data and information. In an organisation data and information would backed up just in case gets lost or used the wrong way so they have another copy to use. For example a business could save data securely such as the profits they are making and how much money is going out and coming into the business by backing it up so they have another copy if one gets lost.
This will impact an organisation as they would have to back up all the information and data they have so if they lose any of it they have another to use. If they didn’t back it up and had only one copy it could cause problems as that data or information might of been needed for their business.
