At the time of its one-year anniversary, there had been no fines under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the United Kingdom, but they are coming, according to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and they are likely to eclipse any fines handed out under prior regulations.
”The first fines under the General Data Protection Regulation are due to be issued soon, once the necessary legal processes have been completed,” an ICO spokesperson told Compliance Week. “The introduction of GDPR was not a deadline but the start of an ongoing process, and there is a lot more work to be done.”
