Holy crap I think they need to fire everyone from the top down. This loss of data is inexcusable.
Last time around, the data loss involved someone making a copy of data they weren't supposed to, and then mailing it to another department. This time round, a consultant for PA Consulting copied files containing records on all 84,000 prisoners in England and Wales onto a USB drive, which then got lost.
Why is this guy able to put this data on the USB drive in the first place? You would think that any server that contains sensitive data would have their USB ports locked down. Also I think the Brits might want to invest in some encrypted thumb drives as well to use on any servers that must have USB access.
