Enforce large companies to encrypt personally identifiable data on web systems.
In the light of recent large scale security breaches, such as TalkTalk and Sony, where personal details have been stolen by cyber criminals and the company has responded along the lines of "not all of the data was encrypted". These companies need to be required to store sensitive data securely.
In the event of a criminal breaching a company's security, any data they steal should make use of a level of encryption that would be extremely difficult for an attacker to break within any reasonable time frames to minimise risks to customers information. This kind of security needs to be accepted by companies as standard not an optional extra, especially on Internet facing systems. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/encryption/
