The True Costs of Email Mistakes

The costs of email mistakes are sometimes underestimated.

Let me explain.

For a typical customer with 500 employees we prevent approximately 4,500 data security incidents annually. This equates to about 20 data security incidents each business day.

Volemic’s email intelligence alerts the sender to the risks in these emails and, on reflection, the sender chooses not to send the email.

I’m willing to bet that only a fraction of these emails would have been reported to the data protection or compliance teams.

But here’s the thing. Every single email an employee sends that they wish they could get back harms an organization’s reputation.

We all remember receiving these emails and who sent them and doubt that person’s trustworthiness.

Which is to say nothing of those emails that represent a major data incident or breach of confidentiality.

So, if you’re a Risk Leader at a regulated organization looking to prevent these kinds of emails, grab a complimentary copy of my Guide to Preventing Insider Risks on Email.
