Is there anything about how breaches are currently remediated that might contribute to better outcomes than if we adopted a higher and harsher penalty system?

It seems like it might create some perverse incentives as the risk escalates.

That's true. I'm sure that the perverse incentive could be resolved with some system for self-reporting and fixing.
