For better or for worse, that's not the case. These days, security mistakes just end up in 2 years of free credit monitoring. Ironic case in point, Equifax.
I'm not saying you shouldn't take security seriously. But it's not fair to say that insecurity could destroy your company. Mainly, most end users just really don't care (or have a choice).
