Data protection officers across public and private secotor organisations are to be publicly known. The identity of data protection officers should be clearly promulgated, according to Information Commissioner Celia Barclay. Businesses and private sector bodies alike are being encouraged to become sensitised around all areas of the law as they move to become compliant in ensuring the protection of privacy rights of individuals, or data subjects as they are referred to under the Data Protection Act, in 2023. She said her office, which has been given significant powers under the new law, will, outside of registering and monitoring data controllers, also pursue enforcement activities against them.
