Protecting Personal Information: Updated FTC Guide for Business
January 10, 2017
The Federal Trade Commission has published an updated version of its Protecting Personal Information: A Guide for Business.
There are, as the guide points out, five fundamental principles which will help keep your data safe
- Know what personal information you have
- Don't collect personal information you don't need
- Protect the information that you keep
- Securely dispose of information you no longer need
- Have a plan to respond to a security incident
Sounds simple, but it is amazing how few businesses seem to do these things. The guide contains a number of helpful checklists.
Hat tip to Dave Ries.
