One Man's Trash ...
The role of Technical Director (TD) at Teamstudio is responsible for pre-sales activities as well as post-sales implementation and training services. We have an opportunity to learn about a lot of Lotus Notes implementations. When asked a general question about our clients, The TDs will usually respond with “it depends”. Our customers are quite varied, and surprisingly unique from one another in a lot of ways.
Since we have a variety of products to help our customers understand who has access to what, who has accessed what and when, as well as what Notes agents have access to, we tend to learn a lot about our customers Lotus Notes/Domino environments, applications and processes.
One area that is more consistent across our customer base is with regard to data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. It is surprising to me the number of customers we talk to who either have not implemented a DLP plan or are unaware of such a plan. You might not think your company has much in the way of confidential data, but one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Think about what exists on your company’s servers, databases, laptops and file systems across your company. You may not store credit card information, but every company has financial statements, sales projections and employee lists that are valuable to someone outside your organization.
If you haven’t already implemented a DLP solution, it’s worth a look. Not only can this save you from a very expensive and painful data breach, but it can also help you with your data discovery requirements.
