data privacy and secure information management

Data privacy generally means the ability of an individual/ company to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent personal information about them is shared with or communicated to others. This personal information can be as simple as one’s name, location, contact information, or to more complex online or real-world behaviour. Just as you may wish to exclude people from a private conversation, it can now be just as important to control online conversations or prevent certain types of personal data collection.

Security is an essential element in protecting data from external and internal threats but also when determining what digitally stored data can be shared and with whom. Data privacy concerns aspects of the control process around sharing data with third parties, how and where that data is stored, and the specific regulations that apply to those processes.

We specialise in ensuring individuals and companies are in control of how they store, process and share data. 

Specifically in connection with business asset management, data is perhaps one of the most important assets a company owns. We live in a data economy where individuals/ companies find enormous value in collecting, sharing and using data about customers or users, especially from social media. Data protection is vital to building trust with customers who naturally expect privacy as a human right.

Regulatory compliance is arguably just as important to companies, and a company may have to meet legal responsibilities about how they collect, store, and process personal data. Non-compliance always leads to significant consequences and a huge fine. 

Data Security is different to Data Privacy and the two are not to be confused.

When implementing Data Security, clients focus should be on the potential of becoming the victim to a hack or ransomware. The consequences in terms of losses in revenue and lost customer trust could be devastating.
