DATA CENTRIC SERVICES

Data is a critical, intangible asset to any organization. Data is stored on paper, electronically, and can also be retained by humans. It flows in many forms as well (electronically, thorugh paper reports, forms, letters, and by word of mouth). Protecting information assets presents multiple challenges.

INFORMATION SECURITY IN HEALTHCARE

As the first Information Security Manager at a fairly large financial institution, I lived by trial and error for a while. Admittedly, I made mistakes along the way, but the good thing is I learned from them and most of the time put what I learned to use.

TO RETAIN OR NOT RETAIN-THAT IS THE QUESTION

Thanks to the Internet and the Information Technology Age, information is being generated exponentially faster than at any other time in history. Privacy has basically gone out the window, and it's no wonder that headlines about data breaches have become commonplace.

THE E-DISCOVERY QUESTION

It’s been more than a year since the federal government codified its expectations for electronic discovery, or e-discovery. The amended rules require any organization that might be sued in federal court to have systems for retrieving electronic data — which could include e-mail, network activity logs, digital recordings, voice mail, spreadsheets and more — if the information could be considered evidence in litigation.

WHY INFORMATION DESTRUCTION IS THE KEY TO SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS IN E-SCRAP

Most readers have heard about the recent $2,250,000 fine assessed to CVS Pharmacies for failing to properly protect discarded personal information. What many may not realize is that over the last 18 months, the combined fines assessed against organizations for improper disposal of personal information approaches $20,000,000; far surpassing the combined total of such fines over the preceding decades.

The unauthorized use of confidential or sensitive information contained on computer hard drives is a serious problem facing most healthcare organizations. Organizations that do not require proper hard-drive sanitation as part of there information destruction program face regulatory violations resulting in large fines, imprisonment, or public relations nightmares.

DATA RECOVERY HOW TO RESTORE LOST DATA

When a hard drive fails, wouldn’t it be great if you could fix the problem yourself? In a case where the data loss occurred due to a simple logical error, application of one of many types of data recovery software can easily correct the problem. However, if an inaccurate DIY solution is applied, additional damage could affect the data, in turn, resulting in a permanent, unrecoverable data loss.

THE BIGGEST MISTAKES BY BOTH PARTIES IN THE BUSINESSES VS. BANKS WIRE FRAUD LITIGATION

A few years ago, I wrote an article for my employer’s web site when the “phishing” was the latest threat in the banking world. The article was mainly about each party’s responsibilities and expectations. To me, the lines were pretty clear at the time.

JUST WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A DATA RECOVERY EVALUATION

If you have ever had a hard drive that needed professional recovery, or even researched “data recovery labs”, you have probably encountered the term ‘evaluation’. While the actual process of evaluating a failed drive is different for different manufacturers of drives, or even for different models from the same manufacturer, they all follow some basic steps.
