How many times have we heard from our friends that they have mistakenly sent an email to whom it was not intended?&nbsp;The answer is many and it&rsquo;s not surprising. Let&rsquo;s look at some of the risks for the organisations for such occurrences.&nbsp;First, Hackers tend to gain access to the file sync &amp; share system through which the entire storage system gets exposed.&nbsp;Second, employees sharing the file with 3rd parties get personal data for which they are not authorised. Now, let&rsquo;s see what the individual in an organisation should be aware of:&nbsp;<ol><li>First, learn about the InfoSec Policy. If there is no mention, talk to the Data Protection Officer to get clarity.&nbsp;</li><li>Second, What is the data protection law in the country? Does it have data sovereignty restrictions?&nbsp;</li><li>And third, Are there any Sectoral Regulations? &nbsp;Some industry sectors prevent individuals from sharing files or store files in the cloud.</li></ol> For the organisation, the tips to reduce risk are the following:a) Using 2-factor or multi-factor authentication when logging into cloud service.&nbsp;b) Password protect or encrypt the document that has personal data.&nbsp;c) Be stingy in the number of people on CC and keep the recipient&rsquo;s email address updated regularly.d) Delete emails containing personal information that are no longer needed.&nbsp;e) Check the shared links on who can access the files that are in cloud storage.&nbsp; -----------------------https://www.dpexnetwork.org/The Data Protection Excellence (DPEX) Network is the first of its kind facility in the ASEAN region whose aim is to provide leadership, best practices, training, research and support for all things surrounding data privacy from an operational perspective.This collaboration of partnerships comprises certification bodies, law firms, universities and organisations who provide professional services and technologies relating to data privacy.An ever-growing network of certification and learning bodies, members currently include Straits Interactive, De La Salle University, Philippines, International Islamic University of Malaysia, National Institute of Development Administration - NIDA, Thailand, Singapore Management University Academy and Telkom University, Indonesia, IAPP, EXIN and OCEG.The DPEX Network is honoured to have the following Independent International Advisors on the panel, who volunteer their services to guide the community in their competency and compliance journey in the region.&nbsp;~~~~~~~~~~~~~&nbsp;https://www.straitsinteractive.com/Straits Interactive delivers end to end governance, risk and compliance solutions that enable businesses to create a trusted business environment and achieve responsible marketing, especially in the area of data privacy and protection.We help businesses achieve operational compliance and manage risks through a combination of cloud technology and professional services and enable platform interactions.
