Half of UK firms have redundancy plans - why is this a security challenge?

In a new survey by the British Chamber of Commerce reveals that one in two UK companies have planned of potential redundancies in the next 6 months.

Whilst this is probably not a business surprise there is a significant security risk here. Should these plans be leaked there could be serious consequences including union action, share price hits, key staff leaving, drop in customer confidence etc.

There have been many documented incidents of covert surveillance usage in labour disputes and conflicts. One battle-hardened CEO told us that whenever he is dealing with Unions he works on the basis that 'everything is being recorded'.
