Companies that lose sensitive information should be punished, say UK consumers

UK consumers have called for tougher punishments for companies that lose sensitive information.

The vast majority of the 1,000 UK consumers surveyed in a OnePoll study for LogRhythm said not enough is being done to uniformly penalize organisations that suffer data loss.

Furthermore, two-thirds of respondents said there should be legislation forcing organisations to declare data breaches.
