Secure Your High-Risk Data

Develop a comprehensive data security plan.

  • Securing data is no longer as simple as implementing a set of controls around a specific application and database.
  • Sensitive and high-risk data now lives in various repositories both in and out of the organization, in both on-prem and cloud environments.
  • Layer in the process of exchanging data and ensuring secure transfer of this information while keeping it accessible, and the challenge becomes increasingly complex.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • A modern data security strategy must protect data through the entire data lifecycle.
  • Data security efforts must be business-focused, with multi-layered defense, while extending to all data sources.

Impact and Result

  • An understanding of what the compliance obligations for the organization are, and how the security controls in place ensure full adherence.
  • An overview of technical and supporting process controls to evaluate and implement in order to enhance data security.
  • A prioritized set of data security initiatives based on cost, effort, and compliance and business risk values.
