The Ripple Effect
That’s the message from the Information Commissioner’s Office. And it’s at the heart of everything we do.
Data protection isn't about protecting data, it's about protecting people.
Neil Lawrence, Information Commissioner’s Office
When personal data is mishandled, the consequences spread quickly. From the initial breach to real harm for real people. This short film from the ICO explains how that ripple effect unfolds.

At DSS, we stop the ripple effect before it starts
We provide secure, certified and rapid data destruction. Built from the ground up to protect people, not just tick compliance boxes.
Why it matters
The fallout from poor data handling can be severe:
- Identity theft and fraud
- Emotional distress for customers or staff
- Legal and regulatory penalties
- Reputational damage
- Lost trust that can take years to rebuild
