Data security involves processes, policies, and procedures that protect data from unauthorized access or manipulation. Data security is also important to safeguard important information and ensuring that it’s disposed of in a proper manner when an organization doesn’t require it. It helps companies comply with legal and compliance obligations such as GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA, and protects them from costly lawsuits and reputational harm from malicious or accidental activities such as employee errors and ransomware.

Authentication refers to the method of identifying people accurately before they have access to or manipulate data. Authentication is the process of accurately in identifying people prior to their ability to access or alter data. It is also necessary to keep a record of all user activities and to establish controls to restrict who has access to information and/or who can share it, as well to monitor and spot any unusual or suspicious activity that could indicate an attack.

The classification of data allows organizations to prioritize and organize data based on its level of importance. It is important to know the information you collect and only use the data that is essential to your business objectives and goals. It’s equally essential to have a clearly defined strategy for ensuring you are able to access and retrieve information in the event of system failure, natural disaster or a data breach. This usually means having complete backups, incremental and differential of your important data in physical locations that are separate from the original storage device and network.
