Information Security

Highly qualified and motivated data protection professionals

Data Security is one of the core principles of global data protection regulations. People expect you to protect their personal data against attack or breach. Effective data security is an essential element in business.  The loss of reputation and ensuing lack of trust from  customers, clients or employees after a breach can be every bit as costly to your business as any fine imposed from the regulator. 

The law states:  “Personal data shall be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security … by using appropriate technical or organisational measures.”

Over 80% of breaches are caused by inadvertent staff error, so training your staff is key to security and compliance.   

Assess your Data Security Processes and Technology

 

The first step is to consider the safeguards you have in place to protect the data you collect, store, process, share and transfer from internal and external breach.
