Good old fashion paper is often overlooked as a potential source of a data breach. This is a big mistake because personally identifiable information is just as likely to be found in hard copy as it is electronically. This was the case when a three ring binder containing the names, phone numbers and health information of 1,272 patients was stolen from a car belonging to a hospital case manager in San Antonio.
Preventing a data breach begins with creating and maintaining an accurate personal data inventory. But most companies’ attempts to create an inventory are doomed from the start because they are too high level and fail to identify the discrete business processes that contain, access or move personally identifiable information.
When Jordan Lawrence builds a personal data inventory, we leverage benchmarked industry and job function based profiles that ensure the inventory identifies what really matters. Finding social security numbers in a database in a highly secure server is important but knowing patient information is maintained in a 3 ring binder that leaves the facility is how you prevent a breach. If you’re looking for a fast and accurate way to create and maintain an exceptional personal data inventory, then we should talk.
John Muir Health, a San Francisco based hospital system, recently revealed that 5,450 individuals’ personal identifiable information may have been compromised due to the loss of two laptops at one of their offices.
A data breach can happen in an instant. In order to safeguard sensitive information and reduce the financial and legal risks associated with a data breach companies must take a proactive approach. Knowing where that information lives, what media it resides in and the processes of how it is managed enables companies to reduce those risks. With our GRIPTM Privacy Management, any company can quickly create a personal data inventory and identify their current information management practices to assess and manage their risks responsibly, defensibly and cost-effectively.
Data breaches can be costly and devastating. This is the case with Countrywide Financial who compromised thousands of customers’ personal information. As a result, a class action suit seeks more than $20 million for invasion of privacy and punitive damages.
Often, the term data breach makes us think of someone from outside the company gaining access to corporate networks. However, most data breaches are the result of faulty processes or improperly enforced policies within an organization.
Jordan Lawrence understands that eliminating the risk of a breach starts with identifying where sensitive information lives within the organization and understanding the processes and policies in place to manage that information.
With this knowledge, companies are better positioned to implement and properly enforce policies and procedures that protect personal identifiable information and reduce their financial and legal risks.
Tomorrow, April 13th, Jordan Lawrence kicks off a series of webinars geared toward Privacy Management professionals.
