What’s an Echo Chamber got to do with Data Protection I hear you ask? Well, metaphorically, an echo chamber describes the frustration of great ideas and concepts being bounced around but never being realised. In business (and sometimes political) terms it’s an anomaly that occurs when the internal narrative about an important issue becomes diverted from action by virtuous rhetoric and ignorance of the facts. In this case, it’s the very real issue of protecting sensitive data from being acquired by those with malicious intent.
Here’s how to ensure your data security strategy reaches fruition:
- Don’t ignore it.
The issue will not go away. It will only get bigger. More data, more risk, more wrongdoers, more risk. It is inevitable. You must protect your business. - Don’t be under resourced.
Underspend and the belief that there are cheap solutions will only increase your exposure and incomprehension when things go wrong. - Don’t think it won’t be you.
Think of the recent high profile data breaches; did these well-known organisations think they were properly protected? Yes they did. - Don’t fail to be informed.
Know the laws that apply to you. Britain, Europe and countries the world over are enhancing data protection regulations as we speak. Have you heard of GDPR? If you haven’t and your brand trades with European companies or citizens, you are about to become subject to the most stringent data protection legislation to date and failure to comply will jeopardize key business arrangements. - Don’t ignore the experts.
With years of experience and deep knowledge gained from helping some of the world’s largest and most prestigious organisations successfully realise their strategies for protecting sensitive data, we’re here to help. - Don’t delay.
