Hayes Connor, the UK data breach solicitor, has discovered that the retail and manufacturing sector is the third worst offender for data breaches across the UK. After analysing the ICO’s ongoing data security report, the industries most affected by data breaches were revealed.
The sectors with the highest percentage of data breaches since 2019 were:
- Sağlık, %19
- Education & Childcare, 14%
- Retail & Manufacture, 9%
- Local Government, 9%
- Finance, Insurance & Credit, 9%
- Legal, 8%
- General Business, 7%
- Charitable & Voluntary, 5%
- Central Government, 4%
- Land or Property Services, 4%
Making up 1 in 10 cases, the retail and manufacturing sector came third, alongside finance, insurance, and credit, and local government. They were beaten by the health sector, which made up 1 in 5 cases since 2019, and the education and childcare sector, at 1 in 7.
It’s also taking retail and manufacturing workers over 72 hours to report 38% of their data breaches, which is against ICO regulations and is leaving the sector vulnerable to large fines.
Christine Sabino, Legal Director at Hayes Connor, said: “What’s concerning is the public puts a lot of trust in industries such as the health, government, and education sectors, with the expectation that their data is going to be handled securely. With so many of these data breaches being caused by human error, it’s very clear that these industries are in dire need of data handling training, at the very least.”
