Short answer
ICO reprimand response enquiries should identify the ICO correspondence, controller or processor role, incident chronology, infringements alleged, policies, training, mitigation, action plan and affected data-subject evidence. Legal4U cannot decide whether the ICO finding is correct or what response is sufficient.
