Businesses

Regardless of what kind of business you own or operate you are at risk for privacy or information security breach.  If you have clients or employees, then you have access to personally identifiable and business information, which is protected by state and federal laws.  You’re entrusted with the responsibility to secure and maintain that information from collection through disposal. 

If the personally identifiable information you have been entrusted with by your customers or employees falls into the hands of dishonest employees, thieves, or even if it is disposed of improperly, you and your business are subject to a myriad of negative consequences that can involve everything from penalties and lawsuits to negative publicity and even imprisonment for failure to adequately protect the senstive information.

A study indicated that up to 70% of all identity theft originates in the workplace. It begins by unauthorized access to personally identifiable information.  Businesses bear a significant responsibility for under Federal Legislation for controlling identity theft through privacy and information security best practices.
