How protected would your business be if an employee or third party provider breached its data? Legal Week Intelligence’s survey of 86 general counsel and in-house lawyers, conducted in association with Kroll, finds that many companies are blind to the real threats facing their confidential data.
Key findings include:
- Three in four businesses suffering a breach had their data leaked by employees and third-party vendors.
- Over half of all data breaches occur by accident.
- Seventy five percent of breaches resulted from using workplace hardware or data outside the office environment.
- External campaign groups are more feared than vendors even though vendors originated more breaches.
- A third of businesses contract without provisions for how to proceed in the event of a confidential data breach.
