Small to Medium-Sized Business with Data Security Worries? | International Business, Trade and Taxation

Data security is not something that only large businesses and corporations need to be worried about. Any business with an online presence must be even more worried about it. However, securing customer and employee data is something that is either passed on to a third party to deal with or is largely ignored because businesses are unaware of their obligation to do protect the data or because it is just too overwhelming and confusing. It is true that data protection regulation and legislation can be confusing especially when having to meet the standards of both domestic and international legislation. A breach in data security could range from the system being hacked and held for ransom or a retired employee’s access not being closed by mistake. The result of misuse, loss or theft of data could be a lawsuit, loss of reputation and business or fines. Whilst these may not be devastating for a large business or corporation such as Google, a repeat offender, to a small to medium-sized business, the result could mean closing the doors.

Owing to these problems faced by the small to medium-sized businesses and even some of the newer larger businesses, two of our top consultants of Interstice Consulting have gathered together their valuable insight to help guide businesses through the process of setting up data security measure to meet the stringent requirements of legislation.
