Four Million And Counting…

That’s the number of personal details lost by the government in the last year - over and above the HMRC event last November. While this is obviously not good news, the good news is that someone is watching and counting. Without this how will we know if things are improving? Of course, this doesn’t count the ones which are not reported or those which people are unaware of - but it is a start. Metrics are essential if we are to measure improvements especially as new processes or procedures are introduced - roll on 2009 when (hopefully) the numbers will be going the other way.
