Compliance teams within corporations are unaware of
threats to confidential information because IT departments hold
back information, according to research from the
Ponemon Institute.
The survey, carried out by privacy and data protection think
tank Ponemon Institute on behalf of
Oracle, highlighted a major difference in the perception of
risks between the IT and compliance organisations of
corporations.
According to the findings, 45% of IT practitioners believe they
would be able to notify users and customers impacted by a data
breach compared to about 25% of compliance workers
Amit Jasuja, vice president product management for
ID management at Oracle, said that certain individuals have a
“rosier perception” because they are not given all the
information.
“The compliance people do not know everything that is going on
because it is the IT team that is a lot closer, and they do not
always inform people about breaches because it is a black mark
against their name,” said Jasuja.
