Your business relationships are your lifelines to success,
and the foundations of successful relationships are:

     1. Confidentiality.

2. Integrity.

3. Availability.

Confidentiality because when clients asks you who has access to their personal information, you want to respond knowledgeably and confidently.  However, access controls are commonly so flawed or misunderstood that  breaches are more often accidental than malicious.  Past practices of subjective discretion with client and patient data are no longer sufficient.  Federal, state & financial institutions now specifically mandate how sensitive data is secured, stored, accessed and transmitted. 

Integrity because customers and employees are your most critical and mobile assets, and they count on you to manage and maintain their data accurately.  In the past centralized, tightly controlled mainframes made this easy, but today's data is out of control.  Emails, spreadsheets and documents commonly exist in insecure locations and are often confidential, preliminary drafts.  You have to ensure that the wrong information isn't accidentally used or released.  

Availability means that client or patient data is fully available now. The combination of storage, power and communications must be sufficiently robust to weather common disruptions and failures. In the past, the phrase 'our systems are down' was tolerable but today it is is unacceptable. A patient being admitted to an emergency room can't wait for their medical records. New e-Discovery laws mean that failure to produce specific documents in litigation can result in all data being turned over to an adversary.
