TRAINING! Your human teams are the target. How can you entrust your company's security to those who are not up to date with their security protocols? If it is important to you, [should be at the top of your list], it would be woven into all your training programs as an ongoing commitment—openly discussing ways with your humans in which they could specifically prevent leaks, the critical role they play in safeguarding the company, and the weight of what could happen if we miss the mark. It's easy to miss when you don't see the whole picture—Ignorance is not bliss; it's a costly liability.

After a data breach, I always start with a thorough investigation to figure out what went wrong and how we can improve our security. Regular security training for the team is a must, so everyone knows the importance of data protection. I also limit access to sensitive info to just those who need it, using strong authentication measures. This approach really helps us prevent future breaches.

I would go in this direction by gaining information about how this happened and what caused a team member to take such an approach. 1. If it happened because of very soft access to any date (no configuration), then the answer is a mistake to easily access dates and provide them outside. 2. If a data breach occurs during an investigation because a team member wants to gain an "award" for a reason (not to be investigated), then the next step is to provide what the next step is with such a person.
