Slide 5 · The Outcomes
Three things go wrong when sensitive data leaks.
🔓
Unauthorized data access
Someone sees information they were never authorized to see — another user's PII, another team's financials.
🕵️
Privacy violations
Regulatory exposure under GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA — fines, breach notifications, lawsuits.
💡
Intellectual property breaches
Trade secrets, proprietary algorithms, or training methods end up outside the organization that owns them.
One Line
