Companies with inadequate data privacy practices are 80 percent more likely to suffer a data breach than those with the highest-ranked privacy practices and will face fines seven times larger than companies with the best scores in the event of a data breach.
Privacy issues Companies with the lowest privacy scores lost 600% more records than high-scoring companies.
The worst privacy actors are the least likely to be able to retrospectively identify the root cause of a breach.

Many companies are lagging behind current data privacy requirements.
