Concerns are growing about data breaches at Dorset Council, with reports suggesting an increase in incidents. Most breaches are minor, such as misdirected emails or improper sharing of addresses. An independent audit committee member indicated these issues might signify a broader cultural problem and emphasized the need for a systematic solution. Committee chairman Gary Suttle described the situation as “disappointing,” highlighting the urgency for better internal procedures. Council officials attribute the rise in reported breaches to new software that identifies incidents, hoping it will help staff learn from mistakes and reduce errors in the future.
