A surprising (if not disappointing) response to a Freedom of Information request made by Jon Baines at London law firm Mishcon de Reya reveals the approach to GDPR enforcement taken by the ICO. For instance, instead of issuing a fine to Blackbaud after paying off criminals for stealing its user's financial data, the ICO deemed it appropriate to only issue a reprimand. In total, 42 organisations have been given a reprimand since the GDPR came into force in 2018.
- Jon Baines wrote about GDPR reprimands back in March 2020.
