Data Compliance Best Practices for 2023

An increasing volume of data, combined with a hybrid workforce and sophisticated cyber threats, makes compliance challenging. But companies that use data compliance best practices reduce risk and enhance their competitive position.

eMazzanti Technologies, a NYC area compliance expert and MSP discusses data compliance best practices for 2023 in a new article on the eGovernance.com website. The informative article first promotes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen information governance.

The author then explains how to identify compliance gaps with continuous compliance monitoring. He encourages business leaders to regularly review data policies and to implement essential cyber security practices. He concludes by emphasizing the need for compliance and security awareness training that includes phishing simulations and internal events such as privacy awareness month.

“An increasing volume of data, combined with a hybrid workforce and sophisticated cyber threats, makes compliance challenging,” related Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at eGovernance. “But companies that use data compliance best practices reduce risk and enhance their competitive position.”

Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Data Compliance Best Practices for 2023 Safeguard Critical Data Assets.”

Use AI to Strengthen Information Governance

“Fortunately, AI and machine learning can help. The average company manages hundreds of terabytes of data, with new data created every minute. Humans cannot feasibly find and classify all sensitive data manually. However, using pattern matching and machine learning, automated AI tools can find and classify sensitive data quickly and accurately.”

Gain Visibility Through Compliance Monitoring

“Much of a company’s most sensitive information hides in unstructured data such as emails, PDF files and instant messages. This data can prove difficult to manage. But automated tools, powered by AI, monitor both structured and unstructured data for compliance violations.”

Regularly Review Data Policies

“An effective electronic communications policy includes not just the written policy, but also the technology to enforce that policy. For example, tools such as Microsoft 365 allow organizations to automatically prohibit sharing or destruction of sensitive data. Data policies require regular review and updates as the regulatory landscape changes and as the company adopts new tools.”

Provide Compliance and Security Awareness Training

“Regardless of the technology involved, no compliance or security effort will prove successful if it ignores the human component. Take time to engage employees at all levels through regular privacy and security awareness training. Complement the training with phishing simulations and internal events such as privacy awareness month.”

Compliance Technology Experts

Technology will prove essential to a successful compliance strategy. For instance, intelligent compliance solutions from eGovernance provide insight into all indexed data through a single portal. Automatic reports alert auditors whenever an issue arises, allowing for immediate remediation. Proactive intervention saves time and money while delivering peace of mind.
