Monetary Penalty Notice – Heathrow Airport

The Information Commissioner has fined Heathrow Airport £120,000 following loss of an unencrypted USB stick containing personal data, some of it sensitive personal data.  Only 2% of staff had received data protection training and there were inadequate controls over downloading data onto USB sticks.  The matters in question pre-date the implementation of higher penalties under GDPR.
