HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and information governance consultant, discusses three data compliances challenges and how organizations can rise above them a new article on the Messaging Architects website.
The informative article presents BYOD policy enforcement, Internet of things (IoT) vulnerabilities and email as persistent data compliance challenges facing modern organizations. The author then includes helpful steps to overcome each of them. He holds up enhanced cyber-security and data governance as well as increased client trust as the benefits of so doing.
"The alphabet soup of information privacy laws can feel like a minefield in the business landscape. And with technology evolving rapidly, data compliance challenges continue to increase in complexity," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "However, with careful planning, you can rise above these challenges."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "3 Data Compliance Challenges and How to Beat Them."
"According to a 2018 report by the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a data breach ranged from $2.2 million to $6.9 million. In addition to fines, businesses found non-compliant face lawsuits, remediation costs and audits. Perhaps more damaging, they stand to lose both revenue and reputation."
1. BYOD Policy Enforcement
"Many organizations have adopted BYOD policies in recent years, citing an increase in productivity and job satisfaction. However, this practice puts data security in the hands of individuals and increases the risk of a breach. At one point, lost or stolen devices accounted for 68 percent of all healthcare data breaches."
2. Internet of Things (IoT) Vulnerabilities
"The IoT has transformed business, delivering huge benefits to manufacturing, retail and other industries. Factories save money with predictive equipment maintenance. Remote health monitoring helps save lives and cure diseases. However, with those benefits come risks."
"For instance, a breach at a POS terminal that processes credit card payments could expose sensitive credit card information. Likewise, a hacker who gains entry to connected equipment in a factory can access trade secrets or even take control of machinery. Alarmingly, the Ponemon Institute reports that 26 percent of companies experienced IoT-related data breaches."
Meeting Data Compliance Challenges Makes Good Business Sense
Untangling and complying with the intricacies of the various privacy laws can present a formidable challenge. At the same time, the steps leaders take to protect sensitive information also offer key business benefits. From enhanced cyber-security and data governance to increased client trust, businesses will recognize clear returns on their investment.
