People don’t have confidence in companies keeping personal data

You will remember one of my recent blogs whereby I was talking about the security of personal data and how companies treat your information. Well a story today has revealed that 90% of people in the UK do not believe that their information is safe with companies. Over half of people also revealed that they do not think banks and retailers do enough to protect them. The firm RSA are have carried out the survey as a background for national identity fraud prevention week which started this week.

56% of people surveyed have suggested that they are more concerned about identity fraud and security than they were six months ago. A far more scary fact is that was revealed is that 850,000 people have lost work documents or laptops. This is an extremely worrying revelation and would indicate that companies must consider their security of personal data. Organisations should consider a data leak policy and there is no better place to look than BACK consulting. Give us a call today.
