There is. It's called gross negligence.
(or as Comey called it, extreme carelessness.")
People have gone to jail for leaving classified information on their desk.

Comey actually distinguished between the two. Because one rose to the level of criminality, and the other didn't. And the FBI investigation decided that Secretary Clinton's actions didn't rise to the level of criminality.
Under 18 USC 793 subsection F, the information does not have to be classified to count as a violation. The intelligence source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity citing the sensitivity of the ongoing probe, said the subsection requires the “lawful possession” of national defense information by a security clearance holder who “through gross negligence,” such as the use of an unsecure computer network, permits the material to be removed or abstracted from its proper, secure location.
Subsection F also requires the clearance holder “to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer. “A failure to do so “shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”
It's a good thing, then, that the FBI concluded that while Secretary Clinton was extremely careless, her actions didn't rise to the level of gross negligence.
WASHINGTON – Former Secretary Hillary Clinton failed to turn over a copy of a key message involving problems caused by her use of a private homebrew email server, the State Department confirmed Thursday. The disclosure makes it unclear what other work-related emails may have been deleted by the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
It's a good thing, then, that the FBI concluded that while Secretary Clinton was extremely careless, her actions didn't rise to the level of gross negligence.
Perhaps you can explain the difference between "extreme carelessness" and "gross negligence."
They appear to be synonymous, unless yer in the tank for the Hildabeast.

One is criminal, the other is not.
Sorry that that bothers you so much.
