Information Security Compliance: How Safe is Your Information?

How detrimental would an information security breach be on your organization?

Lets go back in time!

In July 2013, a data breach at the Department of Energy leaked information affected about 150,000 employees. After a great length of extensive research, an investigation cited a lack of urgency around information security as the violator.

 

I have stressed the importance of information security in previous blogs, yet I continue to read reports about massive security breaches. Nearly every investigation cites lack of preparation as the problem.  Attackers determine a network’s vulnerability and maliciously use it to their advantage to steal and publicize sensitive data.

Regulators enforce information security risk compliance, yet organizations do not stress enough on this issue. In this day and age, cyber security rivals, if not trumps physical security. Is your organization in compliance with information security standards and regulations?  Who would suffer if the attack was successful, the employees, the partners, and the clients?

Would your organization be able to fend off a well-executed cyber attack?
