Data breaches, both internal and external,are on the rise, with no sign of stopping. Of thousands of companies surveyed,half have experienced breaches, mostly over the last three years, and nine of ten breaches occur not due to internal malfeasance or breaches to data protection companies, but rather due toemployee errorsgiving bad actors inside access.

So rather than focus efforts on securing your network from external assaults, companies need to protect themselves from their own inattentive employees. While educating and training employees about potential threats is a good first step, it can only go so far. You need a more comprehensive solution. Unfortunately, the most effective solutions such as employee monitoring software might be seen by employees as breaching their privacy rights. These software track employees’ potentially suspicious or misguided activity; notify security teams instantly if a suspected breach has occurred; and give those teams the ability to instantly take over any workstation and cut off any potential data loss. Plus, the best software solutions analyze user behavior and predict insider threats. The software can even automatically act to block any dangerous activity that might lead to a data breach. In most cases you can step in and de-escalate problems before they become an actual security threat.

For most employee monitoring software companies, this is a blanket solution, with every employee treated as an equally potential threat and little regard is given to preserving privacy. But the industry-leading security service Teramind encourages its customers to eschew this us-versus-them mentality and transparently protect your employees from their worst impulses while also protecting their privacy from their own mistakes.

EU issued over €1.2bn in GDPR fines in 2025 as multiple data breaches bite

Share Share by: Copy link Facebook X Whatsapp Reddit Pinterest Flipboard Threads Email Share this article 0 Join the conversation Follow us Add us as a preferred source on Google Personal data breach reports rose 22% year-over-year in 2025 Ireland has issued some of the GDPR’s biggest fines, including 2025’s biggest Geopolitical tensions, new tech


  • Personal data breach reports rose 22% year-over-year in 2025
  • Ireland has issued some of the GDPR’s biggest fines, including 2025’s biggest
  • Geopolitical tensions, new tech and new laws are all to blame

European regulators handed out over €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion) in GDPR-related fines throughout 2025, marking only a small increase compared with the year before despite a sharp rise in data breach notifications.

Data from DLA Piper found regulators handled an average of 443 personal data breach reports every single day from January 28, 2025 onwards, marking a considerable 22% rise compared with 2024. This was also the first year that breach notifications exceeded the 400 mark since GDPR came into force.

But instead of blaming the increase on one single cause, DLA Piper suggests a combination of multiple factors was responsible for the breaches.

  • Europe Major privacy laws – including GDPR – could be downgraded to try and boost AI growth and cut red tape

Data breach notifications were up last year in the EU

“It seems likely that geopolitical tensions, the abundance of new technologies available to threat actors to launch cyber-attacks, and the raft of new laws including incident notification requirements are all contributing factors,” the report concluded.

However, enforcement remained pretty concentrated with Ireland issuing the most GDPR fines. Ireland was responsible for issuing the highest fine in 2025, hitting TikTok with a €530 million fine. The country also holds the record for the highest-ever GDPR fine – a 2023 €1.2 billion fine against Meta. In total, Ireland has accounting for €4.04 billion in GDPR fines since the act was introduced.

Besides being hit with some of the biggest fines, Big Tech is also a key target in penalties with tech giants accounting for nine of the 10 biggest GDPR fines ever issued.

“The fact that combined GDPR fines held steady at EUR 1.2 billion shows regulators remain highly active, particularly in areas such as information security, international data transfers, transparency and the complex interplay between AI innovation and data protection laws,” DLA Piper UK Data, Privacy and Cybersecurity practice Chair Ross McKean wrote.
