The demands organizations have for and on data are vast. But a resilient organization must manage data throughout the data lifecycle, from creation or acquisition to destruction. Thus:
- Having confidence in the quality and accuracy of data
- Meeting increasing regulatory and compliance obligations for data localization, transfers, and uses
- Knowing where data is located, with whom it is shared, and why
- Having certainty over why data is processed
- Possesses the ability to retrieve or produce data, whether for internal or external stakeholders.
- Destroying data when it is no longer needed
- Protecting data and keeping it safe and secure
- Reacting swiftly, decisively, and with confidence when something goes wrong with or impacts the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of data.
Ultimately, a resilient organization that can be trusted. Digital trust is the trust in the digital interactions and relationships between business, people, and things. Digital trust seeks to bring order to the digital chaos that exists in today’s information age so that all society and organizations can leverage the benefits of trusted technology evolution. And at the core of Digital Trust is data.
The true worth of data disciplines such as privacy-by-design, data stewardship and architecture, incident and crisis response, or eDiscovery and digital forensics can only be realized if you put data at the core of your organization’s strategy, culture, and values. Doing so creates meaningful competitive advantages and separates you from your competition through improved business performance, sustained digital trust, and proper accountability for data.
