DATA SECURITY: WHY IT MATTERS
If your company mishandles client data, it can cost you a lot,
both in terms of money and public relations. Consider the
following cases:
- Consumer broker ChoicePoint, Inc. was ordered to pay $10
million in civil penalties and $5 million in consumer redress
after it acknowledged that the personal financial records
of more than 163,000 consumers in its database had been
compromised.1
- TJX, the parent company of retailers T.J. Maxx and Marshalls,
reached a $9.75 million settlement with multiple states
related to a massive data theft that exposed tens of millions of
payment card numbers.2
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) paid $20 million to
settle a class action lawsuit filed after a laptop containing the
personal information of millions of people was stolen.3
