I'd bet dollars to donuts that firms run by professional managers almost certainly have better security practices than family or founder run firms. I say this because research shows that professionally managed firms excel in virtually every other facet of operations and management[1].

Professionally managed versus family managed. Not surprising, both are not quite related to the technical matter being discussed.

Muskets beat bows and arrows, but we're in the 21st century now.
