After comprehensive personal information about its 36 incapacitated residents was allegedly discovered in the street, a nursing home is now the subject of an investigation into a "very serious" violation of data protection laws.
The number of persons affected and the extremely sensitive nature of the personal information involved make this a very severe data breach.
A personal data breach must be reported to the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, unless it is unlikely to put people's rights and freedoms in danger.
