All Aboard the Data Classification Journey

Boards of Directors who are highly engaged in security conversation, understand and enforce data classification policy because they understand that failure to strategically manage information creates more risk. Not everyone elevates data classification policies to the board level, but they should. Legal liabilities, cyber-insurance, regulatory requirements and financial investments are all driven by the lifecycle management of information. This level of dependency on classification of data means the discipline is not just an IT policy. It is corporate policy that requires the entire organization’s participation and ownership. Join Renee Murphy, Principal Analyst, Security and Risk Management at Forrester, and Martin Sugden CEO at Boldon James, for a spirited conversation about the business need for classification and data lifecycle management to better manage operational risk.
