What are Data Breaches and how can we prevent them?

Companies must ensure that data is adequately protected to prevent loss or theft. Where a breach has taken place, companies may need to notify individuals as well as face a negative impact on the company’s brand and customer loyalty. Under the General Data Protection Regulation, companies may face fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual turnover.

Here are a few ways to prevent potential breaches:

• Up-to-date Security Software.
• Regular Risk Assessments.
• Encryption and data backup.
• Staff training and awareness.
• Ensure vendors and partners maintain high data protection standards.
• Third-party Data Security Evaluations.
