Data Protection: Why Your Information Assets Deserve a Security Strategy of Their Own

Customer records, intellectual property, and financial details carry real-world value and risk. According to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report, the global average breach cost reached $4.45 million.

Core Data Protection Principles

  1. Data Classification: Categorizing data into Public, Internal, Confidential, and Restricted tiers.
  2. Cloud Sharing Controls: Preventing public link sharing on SharePoint, Google Drive, or OneDrive.
  3. Encryption at Rest and in Transit: Safeguarding stored files and external email exchanges.
  4. Data Retention & Disposal: Deleting obsolete records automatically to reduce liability.
