The topics of data security and proper disposal of data are very important, because if data is compromised it can be very costly and dangerous to a company. The following article in ITBusiness- “Business Advantage through Technology” posted a Data Security article that is worth reading

Using studies and calculations based on average cost of a data breach, citing the Ponemon Institute LLC, the cost of each compromised customer record comes to an average of $202. This value has gone up significantly from the $138 cited in 2005.
The value used is obviously not a guaranteed average every time, there are MANY factors involved. But on top of all the expenses for covering and fixing the error, the biggest cost is the loss of business. A first time compromise can be much more damaging to a company, as it gets all the customers worried. Customer trust falls dramatically.
