3 TIERS OF DATA SECURITY

  • TIER 1

    phase of the data life cycle = before

    All safety protocols involved in building a secure enterprise from the ground up, or planning a sizable integration project. This may consist in setting up secure firewalls, assessing every aspect of network vulnerability, password establishment and authentication, and physical security measures.

  • TIER 2

    phase of the data life cycle = during

    Securely managing live data by integrating threat detection protocol’s, organizational security awareness (NIST 80-100), business continuity planning, data encryption and monitoring, database integrity, efficient and thorough incident response, and effective virus protection.

  • TIER 3

    phase of the data life cycle: after

    Decommissioning and retiring your old systems opens you up to serious breach risk of your most private and confidential data, if handled inappropriately.
