INFORMATION SUSTAINABILITY: minimising risk, increasing responsibility, increasing trust.
We live in a world where many things are changing.
Fundamental to this change is technology - the technology enablement of business and leisure. This creates a massive influx of electronic information. These may be complex financial transactions, sensitive medical information or personal information. What you think of as brief details is, in fact, the proverbial tip of the iceberg. And with increasing life on line comes increasing amounts of confidential personal information being held by a range of organisations.
No one is invisible.
If you are an organisation do you know your responsibilities? Do you know if you are complying with your responsibilities? Do you know where your weak spots are and do you know what to do if these fail?
Make no mistake, recent history teach us, there will be failures in information security - and usually these are high profile, career limiting failures where sensitive personal data is inadvertently leaked into the public domain with the result that public confidence rapidly diminishes.
There are many companies offering a technology solution to information security - and yet high profile breaches of security across a range of sectors continue to happen. Something these companies do not know or fail to realise is that the main threat to information security is not from technology safeguards. The main threat is from people and is from accident.
Think about the recent episodes of
sensitive information released into the public domain. Have they been
from hacking or deliberate sabotage? Not really. They have been from
people mislaying CD storage or having laptops stolen or loosing
removable media. These are mainly accident or mishap or unfortunate
theft. These have been human error - not any technology failure.
This is where efforts need to be concentrated. This is an essential because as technology enablement increases so will the amount of sensitive personal data being stored ... and so will the incidence of human error resulting in that sensitive data being released.
We at A-Sustainable offer a unique service.
We will test your organisation for the potential of human error that can be instrumental in destroying consumer trust in you. We will identify the strengths and weaknesses. We will make recommendations - and we will work with you to remedy the situation.
Make no mistake - mistakes will always happen. But by working together we can minimise the risk as much as possible ... and increase the confidence in you, as an organisation, fit to hold sensitive personal information.
Does this interest you?
Be reliable.
Be responsible.
This is not a luxury. In a world of increasing e-information, this is pro-active information sustainability.
Understand that sustainability creates sustainable commercial advantage.
Work with us and we will show you how to achieve your sustainable future.
