Well, when a private co. doesn’t care about customer/corp data; they are beholden to the audits and customers/reputation. Too many dings, customers to elsewhere, and co. goes belly-up...
What happens when govt doesn’t follow the law?
The executives don’t care what happens 2 or 3 years from now. Only what happens while they are there, this quarter and maybe next. Bonuses are usually determined by this budget cycle not one way down the road.
