The Danish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 6,700 on Hørsholm municipality. The municipality had reported a data breach to the DPA pursuant to Art. 33 GDPR. An employee's work computer, which contained sensitive and confidential information about approximately 1,600 municipality employees, had been stolen. During its investigation, the DPA determined that the data on the computer was not adequately secured and that the municipality had failed to take appropriate technical measures to protect personal data.
