In today’s digital-first world, it’s easy to overlook the security vulnerabilities that exist in our printing infrastructure. Yet, recent research reveals a startling reality: in the last 12 months, over 60% of organizations have experienced data loss due to unsecure printing practices.
This statistic, highlighted in Quocirca’s Print Security Landscape report, underscores a critical weakness in many organizations’ security postures. With the average cost of a print-related data breach reaching approximately $960,000, these vulnerabilities represent both a significant financial risk and a threat to business continuity.
Hidden Risks in Everyday Printing
The study reveals several concerning trends:
- Print security often falls lower on the security agenda compared to other IT infrastructure elements
- 39% of organizations report increasing difficulty keeping up with print security demands
- Remote and home printing environments present particular security challenges
- Many organizations struggle with updating print management software and protecting sensitive documents
For businesses handling patient health information or other personally identifiable information, these vulnerabilities can lead to regulatory non-compliance and damaged trust.
