How Could a Data Breach Impact Your Organization?

Any time there’s a data breach, there are financial consequences. The average cost of a data breach is $3.86 Million4. In addition to noncompliance penalties and fines, consider these impacts:

lost-business

Lost business

often accounts for the bulk of breach costs because it includes high customer turnover and brand damages that hinder new growth.

disruptions

Operational disruptions

including process breakdowns and lost employee productivity that could affect over half the business’s annual income.

reactive

Reactive costs

including notifying individuals whose data was breached and hiring external experts to help resolve the breach and repair brand image.

damages

Civil damages

for individual victims and their PII, and class action lawsuits are becoming one of the most expensive consequences of a breach.

theft

Theft of trade secrets and intellectual property (IP)

can significantly derail business growth, competitive differentiation, and future sales.

termination

Risk of job termination

for those in charge of and most tied to data, security, and IT and potential company-wide employee turnover.

If, in the event of a data breach, your organization is found to be in violation of a security regulation, then additional penalties and fines are on the table.*

*The official penalties listed here are the potential maximum costs. There is a range of different actions and penalties an organization can face depending on numerous factors that the regulatory agency will evaluate and your legal counsel can best advise on.
