Privacy Awareness Week: Privacy settings
Presented by Morgan Lane
Morgan Lane, Partner in our Digital Governance, Cyber and Privacy team, shares five actionable ways businesses of all sizes can strengthen their privacy and security settings.
Key insights:
- Start with a data plan. Whether you're a small business or a large enterprise, understanding your current data landscape and planning for a more secure future is the foundation of good privacy practice.
- Access controls are more than just passwords. They encompass a range of technical and procedural safeguards - like multi-factor authentication, VPNs, and role-based access restrictions. Embracing these technologies means thinking holistically: securing data at rest or in transit and engaging the right technology specialists to implement and enforce these protections effectively.
Led by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, Privacy Awareness Week is a timely reminder that privacy is everyone's business.
