City Clinic was one of Sydney CBD's most successful sports injury, fitness and health management centres for over 17 years. "Insider Data Theft" by unscrupulous long term employee health professionals, a receptionist aided by a competitor destroyed the business. The Lesson: Data today is one of businesses most valuable assets. The employees you trust most will steal it in a heart beat given the opportunity and the incentive to do so. Budget for the best available security and keep your cyber insurance up to date. “Before” agreeing your business and cyber insurance check you are covered for “insider” data theft and the business interruption and financial damage it causes. Constantly review the "actual" value of your data assets. And do not expect any assistance from Aus Govt. Authorities including the Privacy Commissioner or Police. Insider data theft in Australia is not covered by any form of legislation that will result in perpetrators being charged. In fact under current legislation the business owner rather than the thief can be heavily fined at the discretion of the privacy commissioner.
