Data Risk Assessment
What is a Data Risk Assessment?
Data risk assessment is a process used to review data storage and management locations to assess who is accessing it and whether alterations need to be made to access controls.
Data security focused
Without performing a data risk assessment you could encounter one or all of the following issues:
- Risk of leaking personal information
- Increase the likelihood of a breach of data
- Discrimination or reputation harm due to leaks
