sensitive files in international deals
Executives are becoming more concerned about sensitive files in international transactions. These files, often categorized as hypersensitive, are the crown jewels of a business and carry heightened risk if exposed in the wrong hands. Cybercriminals can target any sensitive document that contains financial data, personal information or trade secrets.
Loss, misuse, and unauthorised access to sensitive data can negatively impact national security and federal programs, as well as the privacy that individuals are entitled to under the Privacy Act. Check out the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Moderate sensitivity information comprises information that there is an obligation under law to safeguard but the leakage of this information will cause small harm to those and organizations that are affected. Examples include building plans and individual donor records, intellectual property information, IT service information, visas and other travel documents, and security information.
A global company needs to identify which of its data is PHI under HIPAA or GDPR, and make sure that it’s properly stored and transferred.
