National Authority protecting citizens

Who protects our data? Who advocates for better data management?

I was surprised to see that Sweden has their own data protection board. I think more countries should follow their lead. Here in Australia who have the freedom of information act but do we have someone who audits companies and organisations to determine if they are correctly handling citizens data.

Here is a good website that lists each countries data protection policies
