The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that federal data breaches jumped by 19% from 2010 to 2011. Findings by the Ponemon Institute1, which conducts independent research on privacy, data protection, and information security policy indicate :
- U.S. data breaches averaged $7 million apiece and over $200 per compromised the data record
- Despite policies and federal mandates, prevention of unauthorized access to information is not a priority for many organizations
- Cost of non-compliance is 2.65 times higher than cost of compliance
