Short excerpt from a YouTube discussion (host Tim Davies and another speaker) about corporate responsibilities for data privacy. The speaker emphasizes companies should know what data they hold and where it is, ensure its security, and appoint a dedicated data protection lead who is independent from IT and acts on behalf of employees and customers.

For those who are more ethically and corporately minded, good citizens. What should companies be doing in terms of privacy of data?
What they should really be doing is thinking about what data have I got and where is it? And also how secure is it? You know, what systems have I got in place? And also make someone responsible for data protection. Now this comes on to another interesting scenario, because the person responsible for data protection, they, it can't be the IT manager. They have to be separated from the data. But legally, as a, as a, like a data detection person, they can't be doing that because you have to work on the side of the employees whose data you've got and the customers.
