Protect your Business and Retain your Customer's Trust
Did you know that your company could face thousands, if not millions of dollars in fines and penalties?
It's very simple - you are required by law to protect your customer's information.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
127 Million consumer records estimated breached in 2007 |
ChoicePoint - $10 million in civil penalties and $5 million paid to consumers due to data breach charges by the FTC.
TJ MAXX - Over $40 million paid in settlements due to a data breach affecting over 100 million customers.
State Attorney Generals - fines and penalties assessed against numerous local businesses and their owners.
The Weakest Link
Rarely a day goes by without a data breach being reported by a business, an educational institution or a state or federal government agency.
The majority of breaches are not hackers breaking into a computer system.
In fact, recent statistics estimate that over 60% of data breaches occur through mishandling of information or improper privacy processes and policies.
A single careless mistake or intentional act can put you and your business at risk.
Making the Evening News
Stolen information and ID theft can be devastating to an individual consumer, but the loss of that information can easily cost your company thousands, if not millions of dollars in fines and penalties.
Risks to your company include:
1 - Damage to your company's brand
or business relationships.
2 - Legal liability or regulatory
sanctions.
3 - Charges of deceptive business
practices.
In addition, the loss of your customer's trust and your company's reputation is immeasurable.
Protecting your Business
Protecting your company's information is similar to driving a car. There's a high probability that you'll be involved in an incident, but the extent of damage is directly related to how you prepare yourself.
When you first started driving, you learned the traffic laws. Chances are that you still remember the laws and they have become second nature.
Protecting your customer's information should also be second nature. An effective privacy and information security program educates your employees and ensures that protecting information becomes part of your company's core values and culture.
