oday’s most successful companies are data-driven. They rely on data to make objective business decisions and, increasingly, they incorporate data into every facet of their operation. The global consulting firm McKinsey & Company predicts that, by 2025, smart workflows and seamless interactions among humans and machines will be as standard as the balance sheet, and most employees will use data to optimize nearly every aspect of their work.1
In this environment, data is a business’ most valuable asset. No matter what industry you are in, it is critical to take care of your data, whether financial reports, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information (PII) of employees and contractors providing temporary services for your company. Despite increased data protection regulation and enhanced security procedures, the risk of data breaches is growing.
