Yes, Minister?

"

The UK government is proposing to implement “a more flexible and risk-based accountability framework which is based on privacy management programmes”.

“Under this framework, organisations would be required to implement a privacy management programme tailored to their processing activities and ensure data privacy management is embraced holistically rather than just as a 'box-ticking' exercise,” he said.

So soon after the data breach by McDonalds (https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/09/mcdonalds_database_credentials_blunder/). the idea of a 'holistic approach' to security sounds like an episode of 'Yes, Minister'.

As for a 'risk-based accountability framework', WTF is one of those? OH, hang on, we had one of those for dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic didn't we? So far about 134,000 deaths, although arguably the dominating risk guiding policy and decisions was Boris Johnson's popularity, rather than the risk to life for vulnerable people in care homes.

I need a drink.
