Most Federal and State Data Privacy and ID Theft regulations require that you maintain a data asset control system. You need to know where your sensitive data is stored and take all necessary precautions to protect it from unauthorized access. Data assets have two distinct life forms.
1. While the data is being actively used within your IT system. During this period there are tools to automatically monitor where your data assets are.
2. When the physical data asset has been removed from the active IT system. At this point tracking the data asset becomes a manual activity.
SHE is designed to provide the regulatory required control system and NIST compliant sanitization of the non active data assets that have been identified for disposal.
The management of a manual inventory control system for your data assets is a challenge most IT operations are not setup to undertake. The SHE program is a complete turnkey process that provides a secure inventory control system from the point a data asset is physically removed from the active system to the point the data device is sanitized and disposed of. The entire process is rigorously documented and designed for easy auditability.
SHE is easily implemented and very cost effective. Please contact us at shred@backthruthefuture.com for more information.
