Data breaches can cost companies tens of thousands of dollars or more, and can pose a significant risk to company operations and reputation. Customer information is usually one of the favorite targets of hackers as it contains confidential details which can be used to commit property or identity theft. Even innocent mistakes such as a lost mobile device that contains (or provides access to) customer information can wreak havoc.
The purpose of this policy, written by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, is to establish standards for developing and implementing administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of customers' proprietary information and consumer information.
