So, you put locks on filling cabinets and rent safety deposit box at your bank? Well done! Your data privacy is important to you. But what about your digital data? Do you keep and share your data in a private and secure way? Are your electronic systems secure?
Even a small business will possess the personal information of many customers as well as employees, financial institutions, suppliers etc – data that the company (and so directors and senior managers) are responsible for keeping private and secure. Someone must ensure that those identities stay safe and protected. Keeping data safe and protected isn’t only about storing your data responsibly, it is also about sharing it in a safe way, and it isn’t only the business concern, you, as an individual, have a lot at stake when it comes to it too.
When data that should be kept private gets in the wrong hands, bad things can happen. Of course the same can be said for when data gets into the hands of such companies as Facebook – bad things can happen! Many organisations and corporations allocate a significant percentage of their annual budget to help protect their data. However, there are also some inexpensive steps you can take to help protect your data too and we will teach you what steps to implement to keep your data secure and demonstrate to your customers that their privacy is important to your company.
