ENTERPRISE INFORMATION PROTECTION

In today’s business world, collecting information about your consumers has become standard practice. Credit card numbers, health insurance information, and social security numbers, are routinely collected by financial, retail, and healthcare companies as well as by many others. In addition to complying with regulations, protecting that data is paramount in maintaining the trust of your consumers and, ultimately, the reputation of your company. Whether you are a financial institution protecting investments and banking information, a retailer protecting credit card information, or a health care provider protecting PHI, it is critical to put in place technology and processes to secure this information and protect your customers.

However, companies cannot afford to simply lock this data deep in vaults or behind restrictive and cumbersome policies and technology. Personal data must be put to use at its full potential to enable companies to compete in today’s markets, especially in the health care and retail markets with their razor thin margins. Sensitive personal data must be put to use to increase operational flexibility and business agility, but this must be done securely and in a manner that minimizes the potential risk to customers and the company. A proper security solution will monitor and control this information while enabling the company to efficiently and unrestrictedly perform its valuable processes such as:

• Outsourcing data entry and record keeping services and product development to reduce costs
• Outsourcing IT system management and services to focus on core competencies
• Utilization of record keeping and payment clearing houses to increase operational flexibility
• Sharing PHI data securely across providers, doctors, labs and hospitals to improve services
