Risks & Opportunities
Risks
Companies that inadequately prepare for and respond to security breaches face significant risks:- Brand damage
- Customer loss
- Legal liability
- Violations of laws and regulations such as HIPPA, FISMA, SOX, etc., may result in civil or criminal liability on your company and its officers.
- Failure to follow disclosure requirements may also result in liability.
- Loss of intellectual property
- This can result in a loss of business advantage.
- It can compromise the designs of future products.
Opportunities
Preparing for potential security breaches brings both business and learning opportunities. For learning opportunities, study the many companies who were breached and determine how they handled the event in the press. Who handled the situation well? What can be learned from them?
For business opportunities, good planning provides opportunities to:
- Assess your current practices and improve them.
- Reduce the risk of a breach.
- Reduce the impact of a breach should one occur.
- Limit brand damage.
- Improve customer confidence.
