After reading the above Equifax business case, answer the following questions:

1. How well did Equifax respond to the breach? What control mechanisms (preventive, detective or corrective) did Equifax have in place? What other control mechanisms should have been implemented by Equifax?

2. Considering the lag time between learning about the breach and notifying the Board, analyse why such delays in informing the Board occurred and what could have been put in place to prevent such delays?
