To help protect organizations and consumers, Federal and State governments have enacted numerous laws to ensure the safe creation, storage, and destruction of sensitive information.

The annual Shred-it Data Protection Report is out, and the results are a little disconcerting. As insider risk increases, so does an organization’s risk of a breach.

Shred-it has just released their 2019 Data Protection Report and the insights are a little concerning.
