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.
|
Privacy because the
people you do business with are demanding much higher standards
of access control. Past practices of subjective discretion
with client and patient data are no longer an option.
Today, tough new laws specifically mandate how sensitive data is secured, stored,
accessed and transmitted. |
Trust because
when a client asks you who has
access to their personal information, you want to respond
knowledgeably and confidently. Until
recently, everyone 'understood'
an unspoken code of ethics which meant not engaging in questionable practices with sensitive information. However,
access controls today are so commonly flawed or misunderstood that
breaches of trust are more often accidental than malicious.
