FOI release

Organograms for certain teams within the SIA

Published 26 May 2022

1. Request

Can I please request an organogram/organisation structure of everyone who works within the following teams, including names: IT, Digital, Data, Infrastructure, Applications, PMO and Programme Managers & Directors.

2. Response

I confirm that the SIA holds the information that you have requested. I attach the structures for the corporate information and technology teams which are correct as at May 2022.

You have requested the names of different employees performing the roles within the structures. We are not obliged, under section 40(2) of the Act, to provide information that is the personal information of another person if releasing it would contravene any of the data protection principles as set out at section 34 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

The first principle requires that the disclosure of the requested personal data must be lawful and fair. Under the Act the disclosure of personal data is considered to be lawful if:

  • there is a legitimate interest in the disclosure of that personal data
  • the disclosure of the personal data is necessary to meet that legitimate interest
  • the disclosure would not cause unwarranted harm to the data subject

Having considered the release of this piece of personal data, I am of the view that it would not serve any legitimate interest.
