Sensitive info everywhere and nowhere? Time to get a grip
Sensitive information lying around in mailboxes, Team chats and shared folders… It sounds like a typical IT problem, but for many SMBs it’s just daily reality. And honestly: how do you actually know who has access to what?
Every week we talk to business owners who struggle with #datasecurity without knowing exactly where it’s going wrong. Do you recognize this?
What do you yourself run into most often?
We hear this most from SMBs:
-
️ No idea who has access to which documents
-
️ No labels or overview of sensitive info
-
No insight into how data is shared
-
ISO27001 / NIS2? Huh?
And that’s not surprising. The digital workplace has moved fast. But the grip on access, sharing and compliance? That is often a long way off.
What do others think is important?
We also asked this question on LinkedIn¹:
“What would you bet on first?”
The outcome?
-
✅ Basis in place for ISO/NIS2 – 36%
-
✅ Data classification – 27%
-
✅ Visibility into who has access – 23%
-
✅ Grip on how data is shared – 14%
Striking: many entrepreneurs realize that ISO/NIS2 is not a paper tiger, but a practical foundation. And at the same time, oversight of data access and classification is essential.
What can you do?
At ALTA-ICT B.V., we help organizations regain control of:
-
Access: who can access what?
-
Sharing: what is sent where?
-
Compliance: do you comply with ISO/NIS2 and the BIO?
