Data Control Procedures for Data Privacy Compliance

 Despite occasional relaxations on the stay-at-home orders, the world has transitioned to almost everything online due to the pandemic resulting in constant massive growth in the volume of data transfer, processing, storage, and security issues. This demands a data control and protection mechanism to guarantee that data is safeguarded wherever employees are, from a central data center in the office to laptops at home, to minimize leaks and data loss.


This is because every organization is responsible for safeguarding their employee and consumers' sensitive information and because regulations like the GDPR rightly demands so. As a result, organizations are turning to methods like AI solutions, multifactor authentication, disaster recovery plans, and so on for controlling and securing their data. 


AI-assisted privacy protection

Data privacy has become increasingly challenging with the rise in data processing and transfers inside and outside companies. As a result, data leaks are becoming more common and tricky to detect threats. Consequently, many firms worldwide are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to scan PII privacy data and prevent data leakage. There are AI-driven automated data leak prevention technologies that can track, monitor, and stop data access and sharing, potentially eliminating harmful data leaks. These technologies may even learn from previous and potential malware assaults and data loss incidents. So, AI can be used to identify possible dangers, such as suspicious consumers, and to address concerns before they become a problem.


Prioritization of Identity

Covid-19 has led to millions of employees working from home, necessitating remote data privacy compliance. Identity and access standards have become increasingly challenging to monitor and manage because of mixed workforces. The only way to improve governance around privileged account access is to implement Single Sign-On (SSO). However, every company must understand that SSO will best operate in conjunction with MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and if it is correctly verified and validated.


Reconsidering Data's Digital Engagement

Digital change and the ongoing pandemic have increased the importance of digital and online communication. Customers from all around the world today use digital communication as a primary means of engagement. As a result, maintaining privacy compliance, selecting essential indicators, and developing dashboards for tracking, analyzing, and sharing data are all critical steps in enhancing digital engagement. Every organization's IT must collaborate with its partners to determine how data analysis should be implemented to stay on top of current market trends.


Disaster Recovery Plans (DRPs)

It's critical to recover from calamities by recovering lost or leaked data. Therefore, the company should determine if its current disaster recovery procedures are enough to meet rising data sharing and processing demands.


These simple steps may not guarantee your organization complete security from all the issues brought in by the pandemic, but they may help improve your current stand on sensitive data protection and compliance.

How Financial Services Sector Can Reduce Costs and Time in Operations

Since the global financial crisis of 2008, bank profit margins have remained considerably low in the United States and other advanced economies. One of the biggest reasons is that the expenses have been outpacing revenues and, especially in Europe, the average return on equity of banks has dropped to undesirable lows. Furthermore, regulatory compliance and high levels of expenditure due to the suddenly remote workforce and increased risks due to defaults, insurance claims, client insolvency, and other factors added to the pressure. Therefore, the financial sector must act fast to increase profits, or be forced to continue laying off staff, which reached half a million last year, since 2014.  The profits can be increased in many ways, such as streamlining offerings, digitizing processes, seeking low-cost organic growth, and scaling up through mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships. But apart from increasing the profits, cutting costs can also help the financial services industry b...

And, with a 0.05 % rate of detection (or prosecution) of such attacks in the United States, it is difficult to conceive the devastation produced by even a modest increase in attacks. So, what do we do? Create a systematic compliance effort for your company. A structure that ensures, at the very least, the following: Having a Comprehensive Compliance Strategy Many businesses do not have a centralized plan in place to ensure data privacy compliance that is simple yet comprehensive, integrated, quantified, and centralized. This may be achieved by developing a high-level set of principles and documents that outline the measures t...
