Capita, a UK-based provider of data‑driven business process services, has been fined £14 million ($18.7 million) by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for a data breach that occurred in 2023. The incident exposed the personal data of 6.6 million people, including sensitive details such as addresses, financial information and identification numbers. The ICO cited Capita’s failure to adequately secure its data handling systems and to promptly notify affected individuals. This settlement underscores the growing regulatory pressure on companies that manage large volumes of personal data and highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity practices and incident response plans.
