Burglary and theft account for a third of data security breaches

New figures from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) reveal that burglaries and theft are the single biggest security risks for organisations processing people’s personal details. 711 organisations across the public, private and third sectors have reported security breaches to the ICO since 25 million child benefit records went missing two years ago this month; 231 of these involved theft. Several organisations have signed formal undertakings to step up security at premises to ensure that people’s personal details are adequately protected. Over 200 private sector firms have reported breaches to the ICO and 209 NHS bodies, which tend to hold some of the most sensitive personal data such as health records, have identified breaches.

To protect your data from burglary and your company from fines for breaches in security, The Alarming Man suggests you install security fog in the storage area - if the thief cannot see it, he cannot steal it! Support this with a short video whenever the secure area is entered

  1. The recent increase in data breaches has many consumers thinking twice about where they do business, where they share their personal information, and how they monitor their finances and credit.
