Shadow IT: Do you have it covered?

What is shadow IT anyway?

Shadow IT is anything colleagues use outside your official IT environment. Consider:

• Sharing files via private email

• Work in a personal Dropbox or Google Drive

• Using free tools without consulting IT

Perhaps intended to be convenient. But in practice, it mostly creates risks.

 

Why is it a problem?

If you don’t know exactly where your data is or who can access it, you are at risk.
No small risks either:

❌ You lose control of your corporate data
❌ You run the risk of security and compliance problems
✅ But you can prevent it

 

How then?

At ALTA-ICT, we help SME organizations regain control:

• Understanding what’s really happening with your data

• Guidelines that work in practice

• Technology that supports rather than hinders

And importantly, we help make policy, not punish people. ????

 

Recognizable?

Do you see this happening within your organization as well? Let’s spar.
