The importance of proper and secure data destruction and IT asset disposal has grown significantly during the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 continues to trigger major changes in the way we work and conduct business. There has been an increase in remote working and remote learning. More virtual meetings and conference calls are being held in various parts of the world.
It could also mean that, due to the higher volume of online activities, your business or organization may have had to resort to different practices in order to conduct business. You may have started to engage new business partners to help with your private and confidential business information, including personal data.
For many, the changes that have been made are temporary; however, there is no timetable for how long the temporary changes may be in place. However, the temporary changes could open the door for cybercriminals, hackers, thieves, etc. People with criminal intentions will try to make the most out of any opportunity; this pandemic has not been an exception.
In adjusting your operations to the new normal, your business or organization may have developed an interest in keeping your systems and your data secure. Have you adjusted your data security measures? Have you applied new data security measures? The coronavirus pandemic does not provide an exemption from the obligations. So you have to keep confidential and private data safe from outsiders.
Cyber security and data security continue to be of great importance. When going through any risk assessments or strategic planning, it is important to factor in the required data security measures. Careful thinking and consistent documentation can go an incredibly long way. Think of your legal obligations, the standards and guidelines that the industry has set, and your internal and external policies when preparing your risk assessment.
