There is a Symantec report that is very comprehensive, titled "2010 Annual Study: U.S. Cost of Data Breach" from March 2010.

It can be found at the Center for Internet Security as "Symantec_ponemon_data_breach_costs_report2010.pdf"

Subject: financial loss estimates?

I'd like some of the findings I've reported to be converted into a more manager friendly metric (there are three things a manager focuses on: moving up the corporate ladder, pretty charts and money).

Are there industry standard rates, or case studies on the true cost to a business for a data breach?

Specifically, i'm looking for the impact from a data breach involving financial information (bank accounts, loan info, credit card numbers, ect), social security numbers, and employee IDs.

Thanks
