Why Data Security is Critical

‍

Today, data security is a technical necessity and a cornerstone for building trust with customers and partners. Personal data and business-critical information must be protected from breaches and misuse. And, with a name such as TRUE Original, we feel that data security is of the utmost importance. We safeguard against the misuse of our technology by completing background checks on the organizations who become our clients and partners, whenever necessary.

How We Work with Data Security at TRUE Original

‍

Our approach to data security involves a comprehensive plan. Here are some of the key security measures we implement:

• Encryption: We use strong encryption for both stored and transmitted data, protecting information from being read or manipulated by unauthorized individuals.
• Authentication and Access Control: We ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive information through robust authentication and carefully defined access controls.
• Incident Management: We have protocols for handling security incidents quickly and effectively. Our experience ensures we can minimize damage and promptly restore security.

“To this day, we have never had a data breach or any critical information compromised. We plan to keep it that way.”

Even though we follow GDPR-rules and regulations, our clients often use a Data Protection Agreement (DPA) on top of our regular contract. Feel free to contact us and we can provide you with an Agreement which can be used between our two organizations.

Best Practices for Data Security

‍

For companies looking to strengthen their own data security, we have compiled some of our top recommendations:

• Perform Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular reviews of your systems to identify potential security gaps before they can be exploited. This includes penetration testing and vulnerability scans.
• Implement Strong Authentication: Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to increase login security. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your systems.
• Keep Systems and Software Updated: Ensure that all systems and applications are regularly updated to protect against known vulnerabilities. Automated updates can help ensure nothing is left to chance.
• Encrypt All Data: Encrypt data both at rest and in transit to ensure its security, even if it falls into the wrong hands.
• Train Employees in Security: Employees are often the weakest link in a company’s security chain. Regular training on how to recognize and avoid security threats, such as phishing attacks, is crucial.
• Limit Access as Necessary: Use the principle of least privilege (PoLP) to ensure that users only have access to the data and systems necessary for their tasks.
• Develop and Test Incident Response Plans: Have a clear plan for handling security incidents and test it regularly. This ensures that everyone knows what to do during an incident and that the plan works as expected.

“It’s helpful to use external testers —it’s easy to become blind to problems in your own systems.”
