How about a gray area, such as a back-up tape turning up missing, but the data is highly encrypted, so very unlikely to be compromised? If the same tape is unaccounted for in some type of catastrophe, such as a data center fire, technically it is still a reportable data loss. A scale measuring, or attempting to predict the risk of misuse of missing data might be helpful, but the statistical probability predictions would take a mathematician or statistician to achieve any reasonable level of accuracy.
