(InfoWorld) - The U.K.'s financial services regulator has levied a heavy fine against the nation's largest building society over a stolen laptop containing confidential customer information. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) fined Nationwide Building Society Â£980,000 ($1.9 million) for "failing to have effective systems and controls to manage its information security risks," the regulator said in a statement. Nationwide, which has about 11 million customers, did not realize the laptop contained customer information and waited three weeks before starting an investigation, the FSA said. The laptop was stolen from an employee's home during a burglary in August 2006, Nationwide said in a statement. The building society believes the thief was after the laptop itself rather than the information on its hard drive. The data was for marketing purposes and did not contain any PIN numbers, passwords, or account balance information, Nationwide said. Nationwide informed its customers of the problem and no losses were reported, it said. It also commissioned a review of its information security, the FSA said. (A building society is a type of cooperative financial institution, similar to a credit union in the U.S.)
