Data
presentation • Classify information based on its sensitivity. Not all data requires the same level of protection
• Clearly define categories such as
public, internal use, confidential, and highly confidential. Access Controls
• Implement strong access controls to
limit who can access sensitive information.
• Use role-based access control (RBAC)
to ensure that individuals only have access to the data necessary for their job functions. Controls Encryption • Safeguard information through encryption during transmission and storage, ensuring unauthorized individuals cannot decipher the content. • Encrypt sensitive data, both in transit and at rest. This ensures that even if unauthorized access occurs, the data remains unreadable without the appropriate decryption keys. Password Policies • Enforce strong password policies, including regular password changes and the use of complex passwords.
• Encourage the use of multi-factor
authentication (MFA) for an additional layer of security. Secure communication • Use secure communication channels, such as HTTPS, for transmitting sensitive information over networks.
• Utilize Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
for secure remote access to internal systems Employee Training: • Provide regular training to employees on the importance of confidentiality.
• Instruct employees on how to handle
sensitive information, including secure password practices and recognizing phishing attempts. Device Security • Implement security measures on devices (computers, mobile devices) that can access sensitive information.
• Ensure that devices are password-
protected, encrypted, and have up-to- date security software. Legal and Regulatory Compliance:
• Stay informed about relevant data
protection laws and regulations.
• Ensure that your practices align with
legal requirements for data protection and confidentiality.
