Are your staff up to speed on what personal data actually means?

A survey released by TrendMicro & Opinium has revealed an astounding lack of understanding when it comes to personal information and data.

Breaches in data security can lead to crippling fines for organisations worldwide, so it is crucial that all employees understand exactly what constitutes personal data, and how to sufficiently protect it.

Skillcast's free poster features some key statistics that will help inform your staff on some common personal data misconceptions, for example:

• 56% of firms are unaware that email marketing lists are considered personal data
• 29% do not believe it is their responsibility to protect a customer's address
• 10% do not protect the customer's address
• 79% are not aware your date of birth is personal data
