Data protection

It is an important practice that focuses on protecting an organization's sensitive information such as personally identifiable information, financial data, intellectual property, contracts, etc. It protects against loss, corruption, and unauthorized access. Its primary purpose is to ensure the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data, as well as to comply with regulatory requirements.

First, you must categorize the data that is sensitive and protect this information, preventing its misuse through security policies. In addition, we recommend providing training to end users in the correct handling of sensitive information, teaching them to use the best data transfer practices to avoid leaks. It is recommended that organizations implement internal data handling policies and communicate them to their employees.

There are 3 clear focuses on data protection:

•  Protect data loss
•  Restrict unauthorized access
•  Regulatory compliance

Once data protection policies are implemented, they must be incorporated into continuous monitoring to detect and respond to data loss incidents.
