Modern digitally-enabled businesses gather and store sensitive and personal data from customers, increasing the risk of misuse if a breach occurs or data leaks.
Big brothers (governments worldwide) are stepping in to protect consumers’ interests by enforcing businesses to improve their systems to protect sensitive data.
At the start of 2021, there are over 130 jurisdictions that have data protection and privacy laws. Every country might have different specifics to its rules; some might be stricter than others.
With the rapidly growing digitization of businesses, the governments are enforcing these data protection laws to protect consumers’ privacy.
Even if your business is unregulated, you might encounter an applicable state or country data protection and privacy law mandating you to comply.
Email is one of the most commonly used communication modes within businesses and organizations. Most customer and employee data is stored/ transferred in emails, meaning companies must rigorously manage email data. Therefore, enterprises must ensure proactive protection, access, and retrieval of emails with these prevailing laws. A good cloud data management solution like Vaultastic, powered by AWS, can help you retain email data and comply with local data protection and privacy laws.
