Reaching Out to the Community – Privacy Commissioner Interviewed by the Media to Explain PCPD’s Work on Data Security
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by Metro Radio’s “Roadmap to Knowledge Economy” on 9 February to give an account of her Office’s follow-up work on the data breach incident relating to the Faculty of Education of the University of Hong Kong. The Privacy Commissioner also explained the work of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) on data security.
In particular, the Privacy Commissioner reminded organisations to implement a Personal Data Privacy Management Programme, adopt appropriate information security measures and strengthen employees’ training on data security. With a view to helping small and medium-sized enterprises to safeguard data security, the PCPD also launched the Data Security thematic webpage, the “Data Security Scanner” and a data security hotline last year.
