The problem is that companies don't know how to hire IT that actually know how to keep data secure. There are people that can easily make data secure, but those people's data have not been compromises; thus they receive no attention and that particular trade skill is completely ignored. Even background checks wouldn't be of any help, just because literally no one knows who these people are.
