The two questions every incident comes down to
The hardest moment in a data incident is rarely the discovery. It is the morning after, when the regulator’s letter arrives, the litigation hold goes out, and the executive team asks two deceptively simple questions. What data actually left? And can we show we did what was reasonable to protect it? For information that lived on the network, a bank can usually reconstruct an answer from access logs, DLP records, and email trails. For information that left on paper, most institutions go quiet, because the records that would answer those questions were never created. This is not a prevention problem. It is a provability problem, and provability is what decides how an incident ends.
