ICO issues skeleton draft strategy

The ICO’s brief draft corporate strategy presents the purpose, strategic outcomes, regulatory and transformation priorities for the new Information Commission. The ICO states that it will prioritise children’s data, AI, public sector data use, and cyber resilience. “These are the areas where the risks are greatest, where public trust matters most, and where our intervention can make the strongest difference,” the ICO says.
