Just as bosses andboards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles,and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens toearn them- especially in America-the sort of nasty headlines that inevitablylead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. Left, until now,to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-richindustries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection isnow high on the boss's agenda in businesses of every variety. Several massive leakages of customer and employee data this year- fromorganizations as diverse as Time Warner, the American defense contractor ScienceApplications International Corp and even the University of California.Berkeley-have left managers hurriedly peering into their intricate 11 systemsand business processes in search of potential vulnerabilities. “Data is becoming an asset which needs no be guarded as much as any otherasset.” says I am Mendelson of Stanford University's business school “Theability guard customer data is the key to market value, which the board isresponsible for on behalf of shareholders” Indeed, just as there is the conceptof Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). perhaps it is time for GASP.Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam of New York's ColumbiaBusiness School. “Setting the proper investment level for security, redundancy,and recovery is a management issue, not a technical one.” he says. The mystery is that this should come as a surprise to any boss. Surely itshould be obvious to the dimmest exccutive that trust, that most valuable ofeconomic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore-and thatfew things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitivepersonal data get into the wrong hands.
