Every firm is different when it comes to acquiring, accessing, storing or sharing data — but security is always top of mind.
Given the importance of a firm’s data, it is critically important to understand the security procedures and practices that are in place.
Firms have several questions to ask themselves when approaching new technology: What policies are in place for passwords? Who has access to a firm’s data? How is the office network protected from external intrusion?
Data security is vital when making new decisions to protect sensitive data. While larger software providers have certain security mechanisms in place, they cannot solve these issues themselves. Knowing the ins and outs of a firm's controls and policies is crucial, too. Consider these tips.
