Data

presentation
• Classify information based on its
sensitivity. Not all data requires
the same level of protection

• Clearly define categories such as

public, internal use, confidential,
and highly confidential.
 Access Controls

• Implement strong access controls to

limit who can access sensitive
information.

• Use role-based access control (RBAC)

to ensure that individuals only have
access to the data necessary for their
job functions.
Controls
 Encryption
• Safeguard information through
encryption during transmission and
storage, ensuring unauthorized
individuals cannot decipher the content.
• Encrypt sensitive data, both in transit and
at rest. This ensures that even if
unauthorized access occurs, the data
remains unreadable without the
appropriate decryption keys.
 Secure
communication
• Use secure communication channels, such
as HTTPS, for transmitting sensitive
information over networks.

• Utilize Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

for secure remote access to internal
systems
 Password
Policies
• Enforce strong password policies,
including regular password changes
and the use of complex passwords.
• Encourage the use of multi-factor
authentication (MFA) for an
additional layer of security.
 Employee
Training:
• Provide regular training to employees
on the importance of confidentiality.

• Instruct employees on how to handle

sensitive information, including
secure password practices and
recognizing phishing attempts.
 Device
Security
• Implement security measures on
devices (computers, mobile devices)
that can access sensitive information.

• Ensure that devices are password-

protected, encrypted, and have up-to-
date security software.
 Legal and Regulatory
Compliance:

• Stay informed about relevant data

protection laws and regulations.

• Ensure that your practices align with

legal requirements for data protection
and confidentiality.
