Agenda item

Report of the Comptroller & City Solicitor.

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Comptroller regarding compliance with Data Protection requirements.

Members were concerned that a two-stage authentication process was not used and the potential risks of data breaches from lost or stolen devices.  It was also suggested that future annual reports should specify which areas of legislation were applicable to provide the Sub Committee with assurances that all issues were addressed.

The Deputy Chairman requested a comparative analysis/benchmarking data for

• measuring engagement with the public/partners
• collecting and responding to feedback

In response, Officers stated that as soon as devices were reported lost/stolen they were disabled and newer devices made two-step authentication redundant. Officers were happy to develop a digital engagement dashboard and this item would be added to the outstanding actions report and the forward plan.

RESOLVED –

1. That the report be noted.
   
   
2. That Officers develop a digital engagement dashboard and add this item to outstanding actions and add to the forward plan.
