Keeping Data Secure During the Transition to a New Office

Moving to a new office is very exciting because it often means that your business is expanding or moving forward. Whatever the reason, it’s absolutely critical to consider the need to protect your business data not only for your own sake but also for the sake of your employees and customers who have entrusted their trust in the company.

It’s much smarter to do your own installations and ensure that all data flowing through the organization has end-to-end encryption, so that even if intercepted, it can’t be used against you.

Military forces classify and compartmentalize information into levels ranging from all personnel access to high-secret authorization requirements. This strategy is easily applicable to businesses as an effective way to ensure that each employee only has access to the information they need to perform their tasks, without granting them access to important proprietary information.

This is especially critical for companies in the technology sector where corporate espionage is rampant, and there have been several cases of rival companies sending spies to gather information about competitors. Company data can be classified into three categories: public, private, and confidential, with each category restricted to particular employees.
