Data breaches and thefts are due to a lagging business culture – and people aren’t getting the training they need. As CIO, I look for ways to help my business and IT teams further their education. Check your local library: A book that is required reading is "I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium." It also helps outside agencies understand your values and practices. The author, David Scott, has an interview that is a great exposure: http://businessforum.com/DScott_02.html - The book came to us as a tip from an intern who attended a course at University of Wisconsin, where the book is an MBA text. It has helped us to understand that, while various systems of security are important, no system can overcome laxity, ignorance, or deliberate intent to harm. Necessary is a sustained culture and awareness; an efficient prism through which every activity is viewed from a security perspective prior to action. In the realm of risk, unmanaged possibilities become probabilities – read the book BEFORE you suffer a breach.

Aside from the risk assessment, I think that data about corporate responsibility & consumer outreach should be a part of our buying decisions. Our loyalties. So, I'd have to disagree with you there. :) I’m of the opinion that consumers should be given the knowledge and information to make the assessment of risk themselves.
