In my previous blog post, I warned that the United Kingdom Information Commissioners’ Office (UK ICO) might be preparing to take a hard line on companies which fail to protect their customers’ personal data under GDPR regulations. On July 9, 2019, the UK ICO followed through on the threat in dramatic fashion. The Office fined British Airways £183 million ($228.3 million) for a breach which exposed 500,000 customers’ personal data and credit card details to a criminal hack; and, the Office announced plans to fine Marriott Corporation—a US-based company—£99.2 million ($123.8 million) for exposing the personal details of 339 million of its customers to third parties.

It can always be better. Here are some ideas for looking backward, even if only briefly, to fine tune your new fundraising year.
