Data Breach Risk Assessment
To identify data breach risks and to effectively mitigate and manage those risks and business impact, you must know all the PII data your organization holds and have a clear understanding of its lifecycle. Unfortunately, a recent survey by PriceWaterhouseCoopers revealed that 71% of all organizations do not have an accurate inventory of where PII data in their custody is stored. It is almost impossible to effectively secure PII data when you can’t accurately locate the data or identify the risks associated with it, so it’s no wonder that the frequency and size of data breaches continue to grow at an alarming rate.
