Consultancy to Chief Security and Chief Information Security Officers across Europe.Data protection and security is the elephant in the room for business today. For example the introduction of the General Data Protection Act, will it is estimated by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), require an additional 28,000 data protection / data security officers to ensure compliance. This is just one of multiple regulations and standards such as PCI, , ISO 27001 and GLBA to name but a few, that companies are trying to deal with.Each year the number and scale of security breaches increases, from Minecraft to eBay, from JP Morgan Chase to most recently in the UK, TalkTalk. This unfortunately, is an unending list. Firewalls and user access controls while parts of the solution, are macro approaches and have been shown vulnerable, to hackers and internal staff. Mossack Fonseca is a high profile example of the latter. Companies unable to locate, identify and classify sensitive data, across their networks, build a security wall around everything. A much more effective approach is required, one that manages sensitive data at the data item level.
