Privacy Violations – ultimately legal infractions that could have been prevented
Data breaches happen every day, smart businesses, ones just like yours who are trying to do the right thing make mistakes and confidential information falls into the wrong hands everyday. Employee information, customer lists, social security numbers, health records all discarded and free for the taking.
With pressures to meet deadlines and boost the bottom line, employees are more stressed than ever. Today’s hurried business climate makes nearly every company prone to privacy errors — mistakes that can cost millions in fines, lawsuits, and perhaps worst of all, a loss in customer confidence.
Let’s look beyond mistakes, what about the modern threat of corporate espionage? Competition? And the corners businesses who are run by people just like you will cut in order to gain an edge.
We invite you to take some time to read about some of the companies who should have taken their trade secrets, customer lists, patient information, and security a little more seriously – now they have to work to regain customer confidence and restore their image.
