The Italian Privacy Watchdog has reaffirmed that operational inaction cannot be justified by a lack of resources. This decision underscores the strategic importance of data protection and provides operational guidelines for public entities and organizations. The protection of personal data, including health data, must be maintained regardless of budgetary constraints. Entities must continue to comply with data protection standards such as the GDPR, even in the face of financial restrictions.
