Prevent a data breach before it happens with these steps
When. Storm sirens sounded last year, I was picking up my son 4 years breakfast and headed to our "safe closet." Have you ever sat in a closet with a 4 year old with the door closed? I suggest you have a flashlight available, because he's black! And keeping a few handy toys is a good idea because even five minutes in a closet can be frightening for a child.
As you can see, my emergency response plan was missing some important elements. What about your emergency response plan for your business?
Many business owners know what they will do during severe weather or fire, but few are prepared for a violation data.
When sensitive or confidential data that is your responsibility falls into the wrong hands, your customers, employees, students, or patients are put at risk for identity theft. Any delay in the response can be harmful and increase the potential for prosecution
Here are some items you should think about before a violation occurs :.
- Have an updated list of all your customers addresses.
- know what your federal and state obligations are to your customers.
- Consider a "client / consumer" focused response rather than a "compliance-only" targeted response.
- Talk to suppliers in advance who may be able to help credit monitoring and fraud alert.
- have a computer analyst can immediately be ready to review your systems to determine the nature and extent of the violation.
- have an Plan to manage the increase in calls. small businesses may need to consider using a temporary call center.
- be prepared to answer questions from angry customers. responses should be based on what is appropriate given the extent of the violation.
