The message to stakeholders

Following any type of incident that impacts your organisation, how you respond to your stakeholders is important to the recover your reputation.

Following the serious cyber security incident the Co-op have suffered, they have offered members a financial appology – I have had an email from the Co-op explaining my appology. This has made the headlines on the BBC News site:

Co-op offers members £10 discount on shopping after cyber attack – BBC News

The headline looks good – but what is the reality. To get your £10 apology, because the Co-op could not keep your personal information secure, you have to spend more than £40 with them.

You can make your own mind up whether you think this is an apology you would issue from your organisation?
