We've just been informed by our payroll provider that we are potentially one of the Companies affected by a security breach. Naturally, staff are concerned about the potential of identity theft.
Just wondering whether anyone else has experienced similar and what approach you took with staff? It's very early days of understanding what happened and therefore what the implications are but we have already informed staff and asked them to monitor their bank accounts.

Did you know your local CIPD branch will put on relevant events that are free to CIPD members.
Take a look for your local branch here and what events are happening. Remember attending these events are great CPD evidence.

Hi Vicky
That sounds rubbish but good to see you are trying to get on the front foot by communicating with employees.
A year or so ago I attended a Data Protection workshop ran by the Information Commissioner's Office and I recall they had some useful guidance on what to do in the event of a data breach albeit recognising this is a result of a third party (assuming its the stuff to do with Sage which was recently reported?)
In the meantime I hope this helps!
