Data is leaky: NIR be warned

Just as UKgov is reeling from various scandalous data insecurities coming to light, here comes some research to show that data security is probably a lost cause. The synopsis is here: How Safe Are Your Personal Records In The Hands Of Government Officials? and we are told; "no matter what steps an organisation takes, they will always run the risk of being compromised by human psychology and the way we perceive risk on a day-to-day basis," I think that this indicates that we should be into risk mitigation not a super-duper centralised database that falls open once cracked. Decentralisation is usually the way to do that kind of mitigation.
