We live in a data-driven world. Almost every transaction and interaction you have with most organisations involves you sharing personal data, such as your name, address and birth date.

In the digital world, I suggest that there is a "hierarchy of digital needs" (see the pyramid of digital needs fmcs.digital/blog/pyramid-of-digital-needs/) and that if we do not feel secure in the digital world, we will not be able to leverage the different tools and solutions available to us. In fact, the research shows that our fears are exacerbated when we are not in control, which is the case for most people as they do not fully understand digital technologies (layer 1 in the pyramid) and do not feel secure (layer 2).

“Most people do not distinguish well between a one-in-a-thousand risk and a one-in-a-million risk,” said Mark Egan, an associate advisor at the Behavioral Insights Group in London.
