The Identify Theft Resource Center (ITRC) reported 662 breaches in 2010 |
Heartland Payment Systems: 130 million consumer records report exposed in 2009.
Anthem Blue Cross - 470,000 patient records across 10 states reported exposed in 2010.

The Weakest Link
Rarely a day goes by without a data breach being reported by a business, a healthcare organization or a state or federal government agency.
The majority of breach incidents 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 organization thousands, if not millions of dollars in fines and penalties.
Risks to your organization 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 at some point 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.
