|
The biggest cost to companies that lose data is the business
that it loses those firms, according to industry research. The
total cost of losing a piece of data has risen by 28% in the last
year, the research found.
The average cost of a single lost record is £60, research
conducted by privacy research firm The Ponemon Institute on behalf
of encryption company PGP Corporation. Last year's research results
showed that the cost per record was £47.
