Pieces tagged series: monthly ico digest across all sectors and formats.
SignalOther/ 4 September 2026
ICO published activity since 2023 has steadily emphasised the Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code). EdTech vendors, gaming and adjacent consumer-tech vendors, and any B2B vendor whose product reaches under-18s as users are seeing rising scrutiny. Sales teams selling into these segments should expect Children's Code questions in procurement.
InsightOther/ 3 September 2026
A structural read of publicly visible ICO enforcement themes through 2024 and 2025: cookie consent and consent management platform compliance, PECR direct marketing and unsolicited contact, Children's Code adherence by online services, subject access request response timeliness, large-scale data breach response. Sales-leader implications for each theme.
The themes the ICO has been visibly active on in 2024-2025 are the themes sales teams should expect continued attention on through 2026. Cookie consent and PECR direct marketing remain the most directly relevant to UK B2B sales motion design.

The ICO enforcement pipeline runs from complaint or self-report through investigation to formal action (Information Notice, Enforcement Notice, Monetary Penalty Notice, Reprimand). Sales leaders reading the digest need a working model of how each stage works, what becomes public, and what does not.
Most ICO enforcement is private (informal advice, voluntary undertakings, low-level reprimands). Public enforcement (Enforcement Notices, MPNs, Decision Notices) is the visible tip; the digest covers what is publicly visible and is explicit about that limit.
ExplainedOther/ 1 September 2026
A monthly digest of UK Information Commissioner's Office enforcement, guidance, and consultation activity relevant to B2B sales teams. Covers PECR, UK GDPR, Children's Code, cookie compliance, subject access response practice. Sourced to ICO public records; no commentary beyond what the public record supports.
Read the digest for what changed at the regulator that month, with a sales-leader filter on what matters. We do not speculate about settlements, in-flight investigations, or matters not yet in the public record.
