A laptop containing the unencrypted personal details of 109,000 Pensions Trust members has been stolen from the offices of HR software and services provider NorthgateArinso.

NorthgateArinso, which provides the Pension Trust’s computerised admin system, was using the laptop as a database for development, training and performance testing at its offices in Marlow in Buckinghamshire.

The password protected machine, stolen on 23 March, contained personal details, accurate as of May 2007, for members of six of the Pension Trust’s 39 schemes.

Data security whether in the physical or virtual worlds remains an issue, how you protect your data, and the underlying infrastructure depends on your business and your IT systems. Loosing customer or user data can expose you to liabilities in terms of legislation and potentially affect your client relationships and related revenue.
