Why did the Gunpowder plot really fail in 1605? It wasn’t poor planning. It was a data leak. One anonymous letter to Lord Monteagle exposed months of secret coordination. Everything else was ready to go, but a lack of information control brought it all down. Fast forward 400+ years later, and the same principle applies. Not all data breaches need brute force; many happen because information isn’t properly managed and is therefore not secure. • 29% of breaches in EMEA come from within organisations (Verizon, 2025) • 99% of cloud users, roles, services and resources across the businesses have excess privileges (Palo Alto, 2022) • 82% of enterprises have cloud misconfigurations exposing their customers’ data (Check Point, 2024) Data security maturity isn’t just about the tools you have or the plans you make. It’s about visibility, governance, and culture – disciplines that form the foundation of your posture. Don’t wait for a breach to reveal your blind spots.
