The constant threat of unauthorized access across this expanding attack surface places sensitive consumer and organizational information at higher risk. Knowing what data needs to be protected, controlling its access and siloed organizational ownership of data in general are common challenges in today’s environments from the ground to the cloud. Optiv’s data protection services aid organizations in safeguarding against both internal and external threats, data corruption and data loss. The processes include a mix of managing the movement of data on and offline, cataloging data assets and making critical business data available in all cases.

Data protection prevents sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) such as credit card numbers, contact details and customer names from being stolen and used for fraudulent activities like identity theft, phishing and hacking. Data Protection Laws Also called information privacy law, data protection laws exist to protect the personal data of residents of the United States. There is no overarching U.S. federal legislation impacting data protection. Still, several federal data protection laws exist that are sector-specific: The Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) are just a few. Currently, all U.S. states have adopted data breach notification legislation, although definitions and conditions vary from state to state. Take a look at Optiv’s interactive privacy laws map to discover each states’ data privacy laws and status, including which state laws may impact your business.
