AABC business crime security programme launched

Action Against Business Crime has launched an initiative which will significantly increase the level of security available to the micro and SME sector and as a result will make better insurance available to them through their insurers.

The security programme will help SME businesses, particularly high risk businesses, obtain good and effective security for their businesses. Their staff will also benefit from increased reassurance through the lone worker support facility which comes as part of the package. This will enable them to them obtain good quality and cost effective insurance because of their reduced risk profile. AABC is delighted to be able to help to provide this service for vulnerable businesses.

Guidance and advice on databases and handling of personal and sensitive data
With the emergence of new databases with the ability to disseminate personal and sensitive data, AABC has sought advice and guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office to ensure that BCRPs are able to make reasoned and informed decisions concerning the purchase, operation and management of databases, including access by third party users. As new systems, which may not have sought the benefit of guidance from the ICO, present themselves to BCRPs as solutions to data sharing, it is important that they ascertain their suitability before committing themselves financially or facing difficulties of data compliance in the future.
