In more than half of the companies surveyed worldwide, there is a lack of company-wide, effective and regular communication of the data deletion policy.
Many companies have documented guidelines for when and how to ensure data security. On closer inspection, however, there are significant discrepancies between the existing guidelines and the way in which they are communicated, implemented and enforced.
Blancco’s study examines the risks companies take when:
- data erasure is in the wrong hands,
- IT equipment is stored and data deletion is postponed,
- Offsite data deletion happens without full insight into the control chain,
- There is a lack of clear responsibilities for the data deletion guidelines.
