Be a Compliance Hero
Customer, financial and business data is one of the most valuable - and vulnerable commodities dealt with on a daily basis within the Financial Services sector. It's also one of the most tightly governed areas, with strict requirements around data retention policies and privacy regulations.
The Compliance Challenge
Knowing what data to keep, where, for how long, and with what levels of access, is an ongoing challenge.
You may, like many organisations in the sector, opt to keep all of your data, on the chance you may need it sometime in the future. Alternatively, you may be copying data to a 3rd party service.
It's important to note that copying data;
- Increases cost
- Can add risk, as data moves between environments
- Is only accurate at a point in time
Information Governance is high on the boardroom agenda, with compliance recognised as one of the biggest drivers, according to an AIIM survey (61% of respondents).
51% of respondent to the same survey say that preventing data losses is a key factor behind their Information Governance strategy.
Although cybercrime continues to dominate headlines, it's estimated that 88% of data breaches in the UK are the result of human error. Whether accidental or malicious, the resulting impact on revenue and reputational damage can be significant and long lasting.

The Financial Services sector now has a solution, to;
- Simplify data governance
