CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act was created to allow partial consumer control of the information collected from them by businesses. Key elements to understand with CCPA is that it allows consumers to know what is collected and how it is used, as well as deletion of some information from business use, and the right to op-out of any sale of their personal information.

EU GDPR – European Union General Data Protection Regulation is intended to protect the personal data and use of such data for any EU citizen’s data from any transaction performed in the EU member states.With added protections to data such as IP addresses, they are now treated with the same security and care as your name, address and SSN.

Be Sure To Comply To Your Required Regulations Based On Location

Though the US does not have an equivalent GDPR, the Federal Trade Commission has a series of laws that function like the CCPA to protect consumer data and rights. For any and every transaction you perform and all the data collected from clients, be sure to comply to your required regulations based on location. The US has hundreds of data security regulations surrounding privacy across the 50 states.

Good Governance

Good Governance follows six key pillars. Digital Forge optimizes these key pillars to bring you the best security systems and workforce optimization in the industry.

Rules of law

Assuring your organization has met all necessary rules to meet specific governance established for your industry needs.

Moral integrity

Assuring your organization accomplishes business activities with moral integrity, providing the resources, data and customer interactions effectively.

Transparency

No information is hidden, withheld, or convoluted when presented to your clients.
Transparency and open communication brings compliance requirements to the forefront and assures understanding across all parties.

Participation

Your organization must practice participation in activities required by industry governance that assures
compliance with the requirements set forth.

Responsibility & Accountability

By taking part in the industry, you are agreeing to meet the standards, regulations and governing rules set forth. This includes data and security management. Your organization should be taking responsibility to implement any necessary measures and accountability to training staff and maintaining systems as they evolve.

Effectiveness & Efficiency

Setting up a system to meet governance standards isn’t enough, you must do your due diligence to prove it is efficient in preventing data compromise or loss. This is accomplished through testing and assessments.

The Four Pillars Of
Cybersecurity Governance.

STEP 1External Risks

Identifying types of attacks, where they are likely to occur, who is likely to attack, and probability of occurrence. These are all used to create the preventative plan and mitigate the risk of these attacks.

STEP 2Internal Exposure

Managing internal exposure is achieved through two-factor authentication, password protection, secured networks, devices and endpoints. Even with all these policies implemented, tracking and monitoring all data transfers to recognize differences will be the critical element in identifying potential exposure.

STEP 3Ecosystem Exposure

Identification of exposure between your company and each company you do business with is a first and secondary exposure potential within your cybersecurity ecosystem. Beyond this, knowing who your third party exposure risks are is beneficial in preventing data breaches. When you can’t know your third party exposures, implementing security measures to protect data access will be key

Following The Key Elements Of Good Governance

our assessments provide key success indicators for your organization.
Prove compliance with the highest of governance standards.
Improve the profile and reputation of the organization.
Improve the quality of decision making, monitoring and control.
To achieve this our experts will assess your governance on the presence of:
  • Rules & Policies
  • Management & Accountability
  • Structure & Decision Making

Have all required rules and policies been implemented and to what level.

If you have implemented the policies but they are in their initial phase, we will detail the next steps to bring them up to a defined, managed or optimized policy.

How are your systems managed and who Is accountable for their maintenance?

If your systems have surpassed implementation and are being actively managed, we look at who manages them and what standards they are achieving.

This may be a cause for additional resources if compliance is not being fully met.

The structure of implementation can greatly impact how improvements and updates are distributed.  Creating a system that is structures for easily notification, identification and distribution of information when needed is a critical step to assuring no lapse in compliance occurs during the lifecycle of your system.

We take our assessment and rate your governance compliance on a scale of 1 to 5 for various categories.  These categories range from initial implementation, to disciplined, defined or managed, and proceed to optimized, proactive and fully governed.  We preform this assessment to clarify the maturity of your systems and how they can be improved and fully optimized for greatest compliance to applicable governance to your industry needs.

Systems that meet all compliance standards established and achieve all six pillars of governance defined are still never complete.  The world of technology evolves and we must adapt.  Let Digital Forge work with your team to assess, audit and initiate proper controls to keep you in compliance as the systems and methods evolve
