1 Assess your data landscape

Before you can design and enforce your data breach prevention policies, you need to understand your data landscape. This means identifying what data you have, where it is stored, how it is accessed, and who is responsible for it. You also need to classify your data according to its sensitivity, value, and regulatory requirements. A data inventory and a data classification framework can help you achieve this. By assessing your data landscape, you can prioritize your data protection efforts and allocate your resources accordingly.

It is important to understand the lay of the land with the data in the organization. Since it is not possible to protect something when you have you no idea that it exists, it is important to initially map out the data (data inventory) and classify the same. Data protection controls should be based on the value, sensitivity and regulatory requirements around the data. It is advisable to use a tool to identify and classify the data as it helps in streamlining the classification activity, while reducing possible errors in the process.

2 Implement data security best practices

Data security best practices are the foundation of your data breach prevention policies. They include encrypting your data at rest and in transit, using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, applying the principle of least privilege, and updating your software and hardware regularly. You also need to educate your staff and stakeholders on data security awareness and train them on how to handle data safely and ethically. Additionally, you need to conduct regular audits and tests to check your data security posture and identify any vulnerabilities or gaps.

It is advisable that data security practices aligns with the information security practices of the organization. The controls applicable for information security are also applicable for data security. Irrespective of the system/platform used to collect, process, transmit, or store data, the security controls should be applied based on the risk exposure of the data.

3 Adopt a data governance framework

A data governance framework is a set of policies, standards, roles, and processes that govern how your organization collects, manages, and uses data. It helps you align your data strategy with your business goals, ensure data quality and consistency, and comply with data regulations and ethics. A data governance framework also enables you to monitor and measure your data performance and value, and to improve your data capabilities and maturity. By adopting a data governance framework, you can enhance your data breach prevention policies and create a data-driven culture.

4 Automate and streamline your data processes

Manual and siloed data processes can increase the risk of human error, inconsistency, and inefficiency, which can lead to data breaches. To avoid these pitfalls, you need to automate and streamline your data processes as much as possible. This means using tools and technologies that can help you collect, store, process, analyze, and share data in a secure and standardized way. For example, you can use data integration platforms, data quality tools, data analytics platforms, and data visualization tools. By automating and streamlining your data processes, you can save time, money, and effort, and reduce the likelihood of data breaches.

5 Learn from your data incidents

Despite your best efforts, data breaches can still happen. When they do, you need to respond quickly and effectively to contain the damage and restore your operations. You also need to learn from your data incidents and use them as opportunities to improve your data breach prevention policies. This means analyzing the root causes, impacts, and lessons of the data breaches, and implementing corrective and preventive actions. You also need to communicate transparently and honestly with your customers, partners, and regulators, and demonstrate your commitment to data protection.
