Marks and Spencer has been found in breach of data-protection-rules after the theft of a laptop containing the personal details of 26,000 employees.
The stolen laptop contained details on the pension arrangements of M&S staff.
"It is essential that before a company allows personal information to leave its premises on a laptop there are adequate security procedures in place to protect personal information, for example, password protection and encryption," said Mick Gorrill, assistant commissioner at the ICO.
