Oh NO … not the “C word”! It’s really not that bad!
However, you need to know how it affects your business
Unfortunately, that’s the perception of Data Compliance and with everything you read about identity theft and data breaches … it is not something you can ignore. Truth be known, most business leaders are not very comfortable with their understanding of these requirements and especially with how to manage this data in a realistic and efficient manner. Due to the increase in “identity-related thefts,” businesses are now having to seriously focus on data security and archival. In reality, data management is not that complex if you understand the tools and concepts used to manage data stores.
