Data Security Overview

Data security is a critical aspect of any modern organization. It ensures that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. Below are some key points to consider when developing a data security strategy.

  • Data Classification: Different types of data require different levels of protection. It is essential to classify your data based on its sensitivity and criticality.
  • Access Controls: Implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive data.
  • Encryption: Use encryption to protect data both in transit and at rest.
  • Regular Audits: Conduct regular security audits to identify vulnerabilities and address them promptly.
