EXPERTISE

Practically every company collects and stores data. Without data, it is actually impossible to carry out work. That is why it is important that data is properly secured. Because if the protection and security of data is insufficient, the consequences are great. How does your organization ensure good data security? Instantly increase your knowledge and awareness of data security. Let Informed Group look for the right advice.

The time when data was secured by access control of the building in which you work is long behind us. Yet many organizations still work from that basic idea. We work together with our colleagues and in the office. Is that still the case? Information security is now more crucial than ever. The value of data or information is determined on the basis of the required degree of availability, integrity and confidentiality. This so-called BIV classification is relevant. How do you determine which data has which value? For example, Informed Group can perform an impact analysis for this. Because data security is more crucial than ever.

Because nowadays we all know that we not only work in the office, but also at home. By way of illustration, did you know that bungalow parks already advertise as the ‘new’ home office? Because this provides much-needed variety and distraction in addition to work. Moreover, we know that we do not only work with colleagues. Modern collaboration consists of a network organisation that is used ad hoc to achieve a goal. We also involve external suppliers just as easily. Or relationships from previous projects that independently assert their expertise.

As an organization, you actually want to know exactly who, when, via which access channel, has access to information from your organization. Communication departments are familiar with embargoes. Such as the exact moment when information can be shared with the world. After all, what happens if that information becomes public earlier? Or, for example, a contractor who has to carry out a repair on the sewerage system at the office. This will receive a digital copy of the building drawings of the entire building. No one limits this data to just the sewerage system. No one will ensure that there is no access to this information after the job is done. No one knows whether these drawings have not been forwarded to third parties for a long time. And what about benevolent colleagues who send a document home via email to work on it tonight on the home PC. All well arranged, right?

Are all kinds of questions now surface about the correct protection and security of information within your organization? Informed Group is happy to help to increase your knowledge and awareness of data security. Please feel free to contact us. We are happy to help.
