Abstract

The article focuses on the security issues of the Scotland Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). Freedom of information requests reveal the DWP was guilty of the same security breaches it warned others about. DWP's Customer Information System (CIS) database makes 92 million tax and benefit records available to 80,000 DWP employees, 60,000 workers from other government departments, and staff from 445 local authorities.
