Alert Safe Company No. 5/2021

Here is another issue of our “Secure Company” Alert. This time it primarily covers two important pieces of information on personal data protection. The first is a matter that relates to hindering an audit conducted by the UODO and the resulting penalties, described based on the newest ruling issued by the Voivodship Administrative Court in Warsaw. The second pertains to the data controller’s liability for breaches that may arise on the part of a courier company that provides services to the controller. You should in particular take note of the second matter.

We also discuss some of the changes in the regulations on counteracting money laundering and terrorist financing (AML). After a month’s wait, the amendments to this act have been published in the Journal of Laws, with the majority becoming effective on 15 May. This time we give more attention to the changes that affect the protection afforded to the so-called whistleblowers. The changes arising out of the amendments were regularly discussed in recent issues of our alert.

We would also like to draw your attention to the instances of data phishing or attacks on computer systems using links hidden in job offers sent via the LinkedIn service. This has recently become a fairly important matter that affects our cybersecurity.

We hope that yet another portion of information on the changes planned to AML regulations, along with GDPR and cybersecurity related information, will turn out to be interesting and useful. As always, we wish you a pleasant read, and should you require more or more detailed information, please don’t hesitate to contact our company and experts.
