| 4. | The report sets out progress made since this Committee received the ‘weak’ assurance review of Data Protection. The report notes that the assurance level remains ‘weak’ as re-considered by audit this month owing to limited practical progress on implementing recommendations including high priority matters with an agreed target date of June 2016. Although some interim measures are in place many of the recommendations still require a long term solution. |
