The Importance Of Protecting Your Data Internally

Data is a core aspect of any modern day organisation and data protection is always on the business agenda

. Furthermore, as cybercrime becomes even more sophisticated, there is pressure on companies to make sure that all their data is secure.

The loss of data is often ignored and not seen as anything that could potentially harm the business.

The problem is that this negligence could prove costly as data theft by professional criminals or malicious insiders could have serious implications on the business: it can significantly harm the organisation's reputation or even lead to financial losses.

The data that is collected should be seen as an asset whereby it is protected at all costs. Data can be secured in a number of different ways whether it be through top of the range firewalls or protection suites.

These tools can protect your data online; however firms also need to consider how to protect their data on site too.

Furthermore, Graeme Batsman, director of Data Defender, believes that organisations should seriously consider implementing an internal security system.

"[They need to consider threats] internally, locking access down internally so that each department is properly secured and people can't get into another department's data," he said.

One of the options available is to use magicards to implement a sophisticated, encoded ID card system in the workplace.

Wide selections of magicard printers are available which allow organisations to print both one and two sided plastic printing solutions.

Organisations that want to implement a non-biometric ID system can use magicards to produce ID with anti-counterfeiting watermark features, which can help to improve the level of visual security.

Moreover, magicard printers can put together cards encoded with magnetic stripe, contact and contactless technologies.

Mr Batsman further added that organisations need to run to a number of hosting training sessions to promote good data practice in the workplace

"Training could be telling people not to open infected viral emails, not to visit websites, not to let people tailgate into offices," he added.
