Avoid Drowning in Data

By Alan Friel
June 02, 2015

In the era of almost daily news accounts of massive retailer credit card data, employer human resources data, and health care provider patient medical data security breaches, the legal and business imperative for data and data system protection needs no explanation.

Data is also a rich source for evidence in litigation and, for many companies, a valuable asset. What is less apparent, however, to many lawyers, business people, and even information professionals, is exactly how to properly manage information and its privacy and security.

This article summarizes those learnings to suggest an approach for how to design and run a program that is right for your company.
