Why Data Classification is the Cornerstone of Regulatory Compliance

In today’s cybersecurity market, we are seeing more vendors than before offering solutions which claim to cover all your security needs under one roof. Sure, from a business efficiency point of view this may seem like a very tempting offer – but in reality is it all too good to be true?
We already know that data classification is the crucial foundation to a solid data security foundation, so the question is, why would you want to build these foundations using a solution that simply isn’t going to be able to truly fulfil your needs into the future? With regulatory compliance requirements only growing globally, your organization needs to rely on specialist solutions in this key area that can grow alongside these requirements, and save you from making a costly mistake.
By using a best-of-breed data classification solution, you can guarantee a solution for your organization that is fully tailored to your exact needs, with a wide range of integrations, ensuring you are not trapped, or at the mercy of a provider who is in control of all your security solutions.

In this session you’ll learn:
- How data protection regulations are requiring more granular labelling requirements, which can only be achieved using a specialist provider
- Why you need to be sub-categorising your data to have an effective and meaningful data classification policy
- Why basic classification policies are often too high level either to meet the compliance needs of the business as a whole, or of the regulators
- That metadata needs to be flexible, leaving you open to integration options with best-of-breed solution providers across the data protection suite
- How limited product support can be from a non-specialist provider

Data Classification Take 30: Why You Need A Specialist Provider

Once you’ve got your classification policy set up, and a best-of-breed solution in place, you’ve taken the key first steps on your data security journey. But will the place that you start your classification journey be the place you end up? Likely not. Organisational needs evolve over time, whether that be down to new internal data handling policies, or regulatory compliance requirements. In turn, this means that your classification solution needs to be able to mature to meet these requirements. 

Ongoing, organisations need to consider the benefits of using classification to add extra context and knowledge. How can you mature your solution into something that truly works for your organisation, while also supporting the wider security ecosystem?

Join this webinar to:
• Learn how to reduce user burden, and empower employees
• Understand how you can grow your classification schema to leverage the full potential of information value
• Discover how you can easily integrate with downstream solutions such as DRM and DLP to support the data protection journey
• Learn how maturing your classification solution enhances business operations and intelligence

Data Classification Take 30: How To Mature Your Classification Solution

When you choose to use data classification that comes from a non-expert vendor, a basic classification tool is often the result. There will be no option to configure the software to fit actual business need or the way you want it to align to your data protection policy. Instead, organizations often find that they have to reduce down their business requirements in order to fit the policy into the software. Knowing how important it is to get data protection right, this should never be the case, and never will be using HelpSystems’ best-of-breed classification solutions.

You need the power to configure your data classification solution in a way that allows your classification policy to work just as the business requires, and with futureproofed flexibility to make changes as and when you need, which is why you need solution experts, not a “one-size-fits-all” vendor. 

Join this webinar to:
• Understand the importance of technical expertise when it comes to implementing your classification solution
• See how your classification configuration can seamlessly integrate with your other data security solutions, such as DLP, and DRM
• Learn best practices for testing your configuration
• Get expert tactical advice when it comes to deploying a data classification solution within your organization

Data Classification Take 30: How To Configure & Deploy A Classification Solution

Big data, data governance, and data management – these are just some of the everyday challenges organizations are facing when it comes to data security. When it comes to getting started with data classification, the most important thing your organization is going to need is a classification policy.

The purpose of a classification policy is to establish a framework within which to classify data based upon its sensitivity, value, importance, who should have access, etc. so that all organizational data can be appropriately protected and secured. While some organizations have taken steps to define their classification policy, most find it difficult to know where to start, or are wrestling with prioritization, importance, and organizational business processes. 

Join our experts in this webinar who will show you:
• How to get started with planning your data classification policy
• What your high level classification architecture should look like
• How to build your classification schema and policy workflow based on business requirements and stakeholder feedback 
• How to plan the implementation of your data classification policy throughout the organization, and if necessary, how you can phase this
• Examples of data classification policies being used by organizations

Data Classification Take 30: How To Design Your Data Classification Policy

When it comes to protecting your data, there is very good reason you should be looking at a best-of-breed solution provider. While most data classification solutions will generally support the standard Microsoft Office product set and the likes of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, it’s likely that a lot of your IP is located in other specialist programs. 

Data classification needs to go beyond the borders of the basics of MS Office, and be able to classify all file types, while also understanding the classification values within alternative file stores within the business. 

Join us for a deeper dive into the specialist classification and DRM solutions HelpSystems provide, including how:
• You can classify data within:
• Google Workspace
• Microsoft Visio
• HCL Notes
• To identify and protect data at rest
• You can implement end-to-end data security with the Titus and Vera integration

Data classification is fundamental to protecting and managing data, but it can do much more for your business.

A new approach to data classification requires the uniting of two schools of thought that currently operate as parallel universes: data security and data management.

The security domain considers classification as a means-to-an-end approach that involves security labelling of data according to its sensitivity. Data management teams view classification as the categorising of information in order to improve its quality and utility.

For an organisation to get the full benefit from data classification they first need to address both worlds, and then make sure they’re connected.

These two worlds can be very confusing to the user who has to classify a document, learn how HelpSystems is leading the way in data classification by asking the user to describe the document in terms that are familiar to them and easy to understand.

Learn how to design an approach that goes beyond simple security labelling to one that harnesses business categorisation of the data which is understandable to the user and brings real value to the data for your organisation.

Data Classification Take 30: Data Classification Can Do More For Your Business

Estimates suggest between 0.5% and 2% of an organisation’s data is ‘critical’- that it has significant financial value to the company. However, this can account for up to 70% of brand value.

Every day your businesses are creating more and more data. Data gets saved, employees move on, data is forgotten and lost. Valuable information sits on your files servers and document stores, not protected and unrecoverable because no-one knows it exists let alone where to find it.

Using data classification helps you regain control over your unstructured data. By involving your users in the classification process, they will automatically become more data-aware, with a greater understanding of your policies and the value of your organisation’s data.

In this webinar, we will look at what we feel are the 5 key steps towards implementing effective data classification within your organisation, and we’ll cover how classification can also enhance previously implemented tools, such as data loss prevention (DLP) and data discovery tools, data governance tools and more.

We’ll address:
• How to identify the crown jewels among your business data
• Discover before you can defend
• How to go about classifying your data
• Once classified, how to then implement adequate security measures
• The continued need to measure and evolve in a rapidly changing marketplace

Data Classification Take 30: The 5 Steps to Effective Data Protection

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is different from most traditional data-centric security solutions in that its primary focus is on internal, as opposed to external, threats. Unauthorised disclosure of internal data through any media, network mechanism or the accidental disclosure by well-meaning users can have disastrous results for an organisation’s brand, reputation or standing with regulatory bodies. There are solutions however that can, and should, work alongside DLP tools in the ongoing challenge to ensure that data is made available to authorised recipients only, while remaining adequately secured at all times – data classification is therefore key.

When a data classification solution is integrated with your existing DLP solution, an additional precision can be achieved, enabling the organisation to extract value while simultaneously managing the inherent liability of regulated data. Using metadata, driven by data classification, your DLP solution will dramatically reduce the number of false positives and negatives that would otherwise be seen, leaving you safer in the knowledge that your data is being appropriately protected.

Join us for this this 30-minute discussion to understand:
• What is data classification
• The challenges faced using a DLP solution without data classification
• How does data classification solve those challenges?
• Better together: how data classification and DLP solutions complement each other to protect your sensitive data

Classification by Design - The Foundation of Effective Data Protection Compliance

Achieving compliance across a wealth of new international data privacy laws and regulations is a growing challenge, with many organisations struggling to keep pace. Significant numbers of organisations still have either not yet invested in data discovery and classification in their efforts to help fulfil compliance obligations. In this webinar, we’ll look at the reasons why, in the context of recent Forrester findings showing nearly half of breaches happen as a result of human error. There has, therefore, never been a more crucial time to take compliance seriously, particularly in light of COVID-19.

Organisations need to adopt a stronger data protection posture – Classification by Design. We’ll see how the methodology provides a firm foundation towards onward compliance and will make suggestions as to relevant takeaways and responses to adopt to ensure not only are you on the right direction of travel towards compliance, but that the measures in place will provide long term competitive differentiation and efficiencies to the business.

In this webinar we will discuss:
• Data breaches driving regulatory change
• The escalating threat environment
• Insider breaches – are they catching you out?
• Approach towards robust compliance and data loss mitigation
• Classification by Design

Data Classification Take 30: Classification by Design

Join us for the latest instalment in this series of Data Classification Take 30 to discover how you can implement a data classification solution that can benefit the whole company, and how it is important to look at the need of individual departments, not just IT.

We explain how business taxonomies relate to data classification, and how a comprehensive policy does not mean complex implementation.

End users within your business are the ones creating the documents; we will explain why they are your greatest security asset, and how educating them properly around data classification will reap the rewards.

In this session we will discuss:
• How complex data classification provides real benefits to information management
• How a flexible user classification tool presents business terms mapped to information taxonomies
• How users provide the most relevant analysis, driving better information security management

Data Classification Take 30: Complex Data Classification Made Easy

Stringent privacy rules are emerging worldwide. Increasingly, security and risk and privacy professionals believe that maintaining compliance with global privacy regulations is one of their top challenges. Coupled with the rise of globally dispersed workforces, and working from home requirements, extraordinary pressures are being placed on every organisation's cybersecurity.

Join guest speaker from Forrester, Enza Iannopollo, with Ozgur Danisman, Forcepoint and Keith Vallance, Boldon James as they discuss the ever-evolving privacy and security landscape.

With statistics showing the average cost of a data breach has risen by 10% over a five-year period to $3.86M in 2020, it is crucial that your organisation understands what is at stake, and then puts data privacy and cybersecurity firmly on the Boardroom's agenda.

Join this session to learn more about:

• The global trends in privacy regulation, adoption and risk maturity
• The business value and benefits of investing in comprehensive privacy programs
• Building the foundations of your data protection posture
• How security professionals can use DLP and data classification to better manage and control data, prevent all forms of data loss, streamline operational performance and improve ROI

Key Considerations In The Ever-Evolving Data Privacy Landscape

In a world where data loss is costing organisations millions of dollars in fines, there is not one organisation who shouldn’t have data protection at the top of their agenda – especially in the current climate with workers spread more remotely than ever. The trouble with the security software landscape today is that too many solution providers are promising “one-size-fits-all” tools; something that is simply too good to be true. The lack of functionality allowing bespoke tailoring leaves you unable to meet your specific needs.

Many of the tools in a “one-size-fits-all” platform are essential, but packaged as they are for the standard organisation they often don’t meet your needs. We know that any security control implemented in an organisation imposes operating constraints on the business, so the tools need to work in the exact way you need not the way that someone thinks you should work to be worth the investment. For example, badly deployed DLP, or overly aggressive post-delivery controls, can make the organisation lose faith in the solution and make you roll back even the sensible controls you have in place.

When it comes to data protection and security within your organisation, the solution you choose is going to have multiple touchpoints with business processes and productivity tools. Therefore, when looking at building your security ecosystem, you are going to want a wide range of complementary security and data management solutions to avoid having a serious mess to resolve at some point.

Join us to understand:
• The challenges with “one-size-fits-all” solutions
• Why your technology ecosystem needs to be broad
• The importance of agile solutions
• Getting the best ROI from your technology investments
