Cost Considerations Environmental Considerations Security Considerations

High Cost of Failure

Law

Maximum Fine
$100,000 per violation $5,000,000 $250,000 $2,500 per violation

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Financial Institutions) Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Accounting) Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act

Fines alone can easily run into the millions, with litigation possibly being even more expensive. However, the cost of failure can be much greater than dollars. A single retired asset disposed of improperly can cause damage to a companys brand, lead to identity theft that affects customers and/or employees, and create long-term damage to the environment and health in developing countries.
