Every business has some form of data they are trying to protect. Your data will fall into one of two categories – structured and unstructured. And depending on your industry or products, your data may have a classification – unclassified, confidential/sensitive, or secret. Either way, you must provide protection for all your data.
Although organizational structure of data is important. It is more important knowing where all your data is located. You can’t protect what you can’t locate. You should also be asking some of these questions when creating and receiving data - How is it classified? How is it protected? Who should have authorized access to that data? Is the storage of your data in compliance with your industry? How easy is it locate that data once stored? How long should the data be retained? There are many questions to be asked. However, when developing a cyber-resilience strategy, the primary questions to ask are – Is my data protected from a data breach and if the data is compromised, is the business able to quickly restore that data after a data breach?
Depending on the size of your business and type of data you are gathering or producing, your cybersecurity strategy will need to grow with your business, emerging security threats, and adoption of new innovations. Additionally, your workforce will need to be engaged and trained on security awareness and their contribution to protecting business and personal data. If you haven’t already, you should be asking yourself if you are doing enough to protect your data.
