A breach of data in the workplace happens when data belonging to an employee of a personal or sensitive nature is made available to unauthorised parties.
Some examples may include:
Whilst many of these breaches vary in levels of legal responsibility on behalf of the company, they are still held legally liable.
Take a look at the following types of information that could result in a Breach of Data if leaked:
Personal Identification Information (PII) – This refers to basic information that identifies who you are. This can be anything from names, addresses, and national insurance numbers.
Financial Information – Things such as salary information, or even credit card details, can cause a massive amount of anxiety, or even cause the souring of interpersonal relationships within the office.
Health Records – Things such as details about your health could result in consequences if there was ever a Breach of Data in the Workplace. Some consequences may be embarrassment, for example, if you had conditions or body alterations that you would prefer to remain quiet.
Employment Records – This would include a large number of documents, such as performance reviews and any punitive measures.
Intellectual Property – Information that is kept secret to give the company a competitive edge. This could be things like unique marketing strategies, or even custom-built software that opens up new possibilities.
Communication Data – Forms of communication, such as email sent between authorised individuals, that are intercepted, or sent to the wrong location, and are exposed to unauthorised parties have the potential of massive harm in the workplace. For example, if someone had a disciplinary or dismissal due, this could give the suspected party the ability to cause sabotage to the company.
Customer data – Protecting the customer’s private information is one of the biggest responsibilities of workers within a company. Failure to do so could lead to the affected company massive consequences, including a loss of trust within the company.
Supplier Data – Supplier data is considered to be nearly as important as customer data for the company, as failure to keep their information private could result in similar consequences, meaning the supplier may blacklist your company.
