それはおそらく驚きではないが、データ機密保護の政府の物凄い記録は公共の信頼を破壊した。

10人毎にの1つだけは今日解放される新しい研究に従って彼らの個人的なデータを、扱うために政府を信頼する。

DES 調査はまた身分照明についての人々の93%あったまたは確実言った示した政府に保護データの悪い実績があったのでこれはあったと。

The results confirmed that the spate of data protection incidents and the press attention it has received has destroyed much of the trust that the public has with the governmental sector.

“On the face of it, these results seem surprising and controversial as they highlight such a high level of mistrust in government,” said Cherry Taylor, managing director of Dynamic Markets, who compiled the report.

“However in the wider context, when you consider the series of data protection incidents last year, maybe it’s not as shocking as you would imagine,” said Taylor.

“This is a problem we have seen echoed in other research, which suggests that it might be an issue that the government really needs to address.”

The government home secretary Jacqui Smith has already delayed the introduction of ID cards until 2012 and her contention that online ID card databases cannot be hacked has been contested by security experts and doubted by the public.

The results showed that 67 per cent of respondents didn’t trust the government’s technology and 56 per cent do not trust civil servants with their personal data.

“The research shows how damaging negative press surrounding a data breach can be - and it can be so easily prevented,” said DES managing director David Tomlinson.

One other concerning statistic showed that 52 per cent of staff were not given any means of encrypting data when dealing with client’s private information.

“The survey highlights the fact that there is a need to educate the public at large about data protection methods, such as encryption,” he added.
