What are some best practices for protecting sensitive data?
Some best practices for protecting sensitive data include: using encryption to protect data in transit and at rest; restricting access to sensitive data via user roles and responsibilities; implementing a data access control system; implementing secure development practices such as secure coding and secure testing; conducting periodic security reviews and auditing; implementing data loss prevention systems; and training staff on best data security practices.
Some best practices for protecting sensitive data include: limiting access to data only to authorized users by enforcing strong authentication procedures; ensuring physical security of data storage devices by locking up or disconnecting systems when not in use; using encryption technology to protect data stored on external hard drives, memory sticks or other portable storage devices; regularly updating software and applications to patch any vulnerabilities; and training staff in secure data handling practices.
