Are Your Employees Inadvertently Adding Holes In Your Security?
The two best assets of any business, people and data are where most risk lurks. 80% of corporate data is unstructured, created by people, in many formats, sent internally and externally to third parties, clients, partners, suppliers, consumers, and copied, forwarded, deleted, retained, classified and tracked - often illegally.
It is not surprising that IT Security and Legal, although worlds apart historically, are having to become close. We offer some pointers on how to mitigate people and data security risks.
Bridging the Gap: Are Your Employees Inadvertently Adding Holes in Your Security?
In the dynamic intersection of legal compliance and IT security, the role of employees becomes paramount. As organisations navigate the complex landscape of safeguarding data, it's essential to assess whether inadvertent actions are unintentionally poking holes in Corporate security measures.
Striking the Balance: Legal Compliance meets IT Security
Ensuring compliance with regulations is non-negotiable, but it's equally crucial to align legal mandates with robust IT security practices. Employee actions, often well-intentioned but uninformed, can create vulnerabilities. Bridging the gap between compliance requirements and the practicalities of safeguarding digital assets is precisely what DRE's expertise and solutions are about.
