    Monetary penalties and enforcement action
    This year we have regulated data security breaches more firmly,
    focusing more on the use of our civil monetary powers and reducing the
    number of undertakings issued. We received over 600 self reported data
    protection breaches.
    We issued 10 civil monetary penalty notices totalling £1,171,000.
    We issued two enforcement notices and 76 undertakings. We have reviewed
    the effectiveness of the new self-reported security breach form and process
    and expect to conclude these cases more quickly in the future.
    We secured eight convictions for criminal offences relating to unlawfully
    obtaining personal data. We also administered seven cautions for this
    type of offence. We took prosecution action against one data controller
    for non-notification offences under the Data Protection Act.
    We applied for search warrants in respect of eight premises during the last
    year and two of these related to breaches of the Privacy and Electronics
    Communications Regulations and sending of mass unsolicited text messages
    linked to claims management
    .
