Safeguarding sensitive data– what to know

Many Small to Midsized businesses (SMBs) don't properly safeguard their sensitive data - and the risks can be severe.  
​
They include financial losses, damage to reputation, loss of customer trust, legal action, and regulatory fines.  


To avoid the risks, here are 3 simple steps to guard your data:  

• Identify sensitive data: First, identify the types of sensitive data your company collects, stores, or processes. This includes personal information, financial data, intellectual property, and confidential business information. 
• Assess risks: Once you've identified sensitive data, assess the risks associated with it. Think about things like internal and external threats, human error, and even natural disasters. 
• Have a response plan: Put a plan in place in case of a security breach.
