ICO publishes final version of enterprise data strategy

On 13 June 2024 the ICO issued its final enterprise data strategy. The strategy states that the ICO wants to be an” exemplar of responsible innovation using data”. The ICO will concentrate on growing its data maturity (a measurement of how advanced an organisation’s data analysis/use is) and “delivering tangible value from data and analytics for the ICO and its customers.”

The ICO recognises that the data it holds is a significant asset and that there is a need to consider how it can be best used to further the ICO’s institutional goals. This is an interesting read, especially for those who may be considering a similar project.
