Hmmmm....was the employee's saving of the information you described part of the employee's assigned roles and responsibilities? Was the employee using the company owned PC for non-work or personal reasons?

Subject: who's responsible?
If an employee saved personal files (taxes, family members names, dob, ssn) to a computer owned by a CE and that pc was involved in an impermissionable disclosure, is the CE responsible for the PII in those files?
