Technology can help or hinder an organisation in meeting its obligations under the Data Protection Act or GDPR. The right policies can lighten the burden of data owners and controllers, but care is needed to avoid unnecessary disruption to operations.
Cloud-based systems can reduce business continuity risks with built-in redundancy and data recovery, but not without limits. Malicious code can still impact data stored in the cloud, so guidance, policy and communications are needed to educate/remind staff of the need for diligence. Measures such as information classification and Data-Loss Prevention are effective ways to retain sensitive data within the organisation.
As your systems evolve and grow in complexity, so the risk of system failure can grow also. Governance and controls need to be reviewed and adapted over time. Existing systems need to be considered when proposing/planning new solutions to avoid creating legacy issues, the costs of which can often outweigh the benefits of the original project.
