Are you safeguarding your organisation’s sensitive data effectively? How do you protect your organisation’s sensitive data from unauthorised access, leakage or theft? These are common issues that have challenged senior management as they look for ways to protect their data without locking their business operations down. We have helped organisations around the globe to align their tools to business policies reducing operational risks and meeting compliance requirements.
Security versus Usability
Organisations face the challenge of balancing security with usability when implementing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) services. The policies developed need to be robust enough to prevent breaches, but not so restrictive that they hinder productivity and collaboration across the organisation.
Impact to Workflow
Some DLP solutions can block the transfer of files and emails that contain sensitive information, which could affect the workflow of legitimate users, unless the workflow is clearly defined, and the policy effectively implemented.
Regulatory Alignment
Aligning organisation policies to specific regulations and standards that govern data protection (i.e., GDPR, HIPAA or PCI DSS). Key for organisations is the need to align DLP strategies with the industry specific requirements and region, and monitor, respond and report on any data incidents or breaches.
Integrating the Complexity
The complexity and scalability of DLP solutions that exist across different platforms, devices, and applications is not to be underestimated. Organisations will need to integrate their DLP services with their existing IT infrastructure and ensure that it can handle the increasing volume and variety of data sources and formats.
Business Team Dependency
And finally, the biggest challenge can be the dependency from the business teams in identifying their sensitive data and developing the DLP policies needed to ensure that the data is protected without impacting operations. Implementing DLP systems can in many cases involve technology, business operations, management teams, as well as compliance and audit teams.
Pooling this broad range of complex transformation activities can and in many cases challenge the best intentions of experienced Project Managers and require specialist help and support.
