    So start making the penalty for data breaches executive fingers. It will really bring home the importance of getting it right.

    Plus there are more than a few companies that will have to work out how to get signatures from people who have lost all of their digits within weeks of that rule being put in place.

    As things stand you have together caught breaking privacy laws, then you have to be unlucky enough to get properly investigated, then you need to be even more unlucky to actually get fined, and truly monumentally unlucky enough to not be able to tie things up in court long enough for the consequences to hit faster than the golden parachute can open.

    Fines are just a cost of doing business and there’s so many avenues for “accidentally” having data leak after all.
