Data Breach Assessment

Are you concerned about your company's vulnerability to a data breach or its ability to resist a cyberattack? If not, you should be. Global data privacy laws bring harsh penalties for companies that don’t employ security safeguards nor inform impacted users or the data protection authority promptly.

  • Every year, data breaches affect thousands of businesses and billions of people. Compared to 2020, the number of security incidents in 2021 increased by 11%.
  • Under the GDPR, a personal data breach is defined as a security breach that results in unintentional or unlawful destruction, loss, modification, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
  • Inadequate security procedures and unskilled personnel are two of the most common causes of enterprise data breaches.
  • Data breach assessments help organizations analyze their vulnerabilities and give transparency into critical areas that require upgradation.
