Rule: Your Data Security Protection and Protocols Must
be based on the type of data you collect. The more
sensitive the data the more you must do to protect it.
Liability for a breach is based on the sensitivity of the
data and the harm it could cause. The less you do to
protect the data the more liability you face, if (no when) a
breach does occur you will face liability the only question
is how much. Let us plan your data breach defense now!
What Type of Data is Most Sensitive to a Breach For Liabiliity
- Financial Information
- SS#'s DOB, Address . . .
- Corporate Information
The Most Frequent Cause of a Data Breach:
The most frequent cause of a data breach is human error. This includes lack of
communication in regards to security protocols or failure to follow these protocols, process
failures, software code errors, human controlled hardware failures and employer allowed
theft. Yes a company can be liable for data loss by allowing employees to use and bring to
work flash drives and cards where data can be downloaded (called thumbsucking such as
when an employee copies sensitve data on a USB flash drive)
With proper review and education, most of these failures can be eliminated and are
expected to be eliminated, otherwise you will face liability. Unfortunately this liability cannot
be pawned off or transferred to another company or person, its the responsibility of all who
have control of this data that are responsible for its protection and thus a review by a cyber
security lawyer is an essential element to guarantee the highest level of compliance.
