The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), New York Privacy Act (NYPA), and Bill C27 Law 25 are just a few examples of privacy laws that companies must comply with.

Data-Sentinel.com offers audits and ongoing compliance reporting for sensitive data management to ensure that your organization remains compliant with these laws. Their team of experts will work with you to assess your current data practices, identify areas for improvement, and implement the necessary changes to meet the requirements of these regulations.

The CCPA and GDPR are two of the most comprehensive privacy regulations and cover the collection, storage, and usage of personal information of California and European Union residents, respectively. The NYPA, on the other hand, governs the collection, use, and storage of personal information of New York residents. Bill C27 Law 25 applies to Canadian organizations and requires them to report data breaches and comply with privacy regulations. 

Compliance with these regulations requires companies to have robust data protection and privacy policies in place, as well as regular audits to ensure they remain up to date. Data-Sentinel.com's ongoing compliance reporting provides you with peace of mind that your organization is always in compliance, giving you the assurance that your sensitive data is being managed responsibly and in accordance with the law.

Tips to Manage Sensitive Data

Data containing personal or sensitive information should be handled with a higher level of security than non-sensitive data. Copies of personal information should be kept separate from the original and kept to a minimum to reduce the risk of disclosure or unauthorized access. Ideally, this would require only one master and one backup.

All data stored on a portable or personal device must be password or password protected and securely encrypted. This includes data stored on USB sticks, external hard drives, laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, and external servers. Personal devices with data should be kept secure overnight and securely encrypted. Access to devices, files, or servers containing sensitive or personal data must be managed responsibly and regularly reviewed.

The implementation of technology to automate the discovery and governance of sensitive data is key to enabling compliance with privacy laws. In many situations where data volumes and complexity are significant, it's the only real option available to organizations. A manual investigation is near impossible to do with any degree of accuracy and therefore confidence in compliance.
