To make matters worse, the current global health crisis is only deteriorating the situation as it emphasizes certain aspects of personal data privacy concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that the rising complexity of the regulatory environment must be met by the same levels of attention and responsibility in modern businesses that operate within the digital realm. If you are an organization that collects and manages any type of personal data, you must do your due diligence to secure its privacy and meet all the necessary data privacy regulation standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, here are 6 important best practices for developing a strong data privacy strategy in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Understand All Your Obligations\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The very first thing to think about is what your main obligations are. Do thorough research to understand exactly what laws your business must comply with in order to have a strong data privacy plan. \u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some aspects to consider:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All codes of conduct for data guidance, according to your industry, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Health_Insurance_Portability_and_Accountability_Act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIPAA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All privacy regulations, whether local, regional, or global, that your organization needs to be in compliance with &#8211; some regulations to examine include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr-info.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GDPR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oag.ca.gov\/privacy\/ccpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CCPA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/General_Personal_Data_Protection_Law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LGPD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contracts and related obligations that your business has with third-party entities and its consumers &#8211; especially in terms of data processing.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How you should manage employee data.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once all this is covered, it is time to assess risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Knowing Your Risks\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to be aware of the chances that some kind of law violation may occur. Be sure to assess the risks in terms of the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The types of data &#8211; both employee- and customer-based\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data from and for third-party vendors\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who can access which data types &#8211; both internal and external\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How your main security processes are streamlined<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data breaches are always a threat, so be sure to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacompliance.com\/blog\/5-damaging-consequences-of-a-data-breach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">understand what the potential consequences are<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and to determine the risk levels that your organization is willing to tolerate.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Find the Right Privacy Framework\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a strong privacy framework means having well-structured guidelines for gathering, approaching and integrating all the necessary compliance rules and requirements that apply to your industry and your business.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have implemented an effective strategy that clearly defines and outlines your data privacy procedures and processes, your company will be able to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimize data loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pinpoint areas of high risk\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abide by all the laws, regulations, and standards through the right infrastructure\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brings us to:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Use The Right Tools\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to have an optimal data privacy plan in place, businesses need to set up the right infrastructure and use the right technology for the job. This is why it is strongly recommended that you research optimal solutions, tools and hardware that you might be needing in order to achieve proper data governance and regulatory compliance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of these infrastructure components include data management add-ons, security layers, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jatheon.com\/products\/on-premise-email-archiving-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email archiving solutions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, data analytics tools, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jatheon.com\/blog\/data-archiving-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">data archiving<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plans, versatile data management tools, while at the same time having a proper data and email retention policy in place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Map the Flow of Your Data\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a good idea to always know where your data is and how it is managed while it is flowing through your company. The data mapping process should help you understand the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the data comes from customers, staff, or third party entities\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of particular data\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How the data is entering your organization and in which form\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The storage location\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who can access it and from where exactly.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, privacy regulations tend to require businesses to have a firm grasp of the exact ways their data is being managed, accessed, processed, stored, etc. This is where the data mapping strategy comes into play &#8211; to help you understand the structure of your data flow and ensure full compliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Document Your Privacy Policies\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is documenting a company\u2019s privacy policy a typical requirement under certain laws but this process can also help businesses be transparent in terms of how they are using consumer data and for what purposes.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s not all about the consumer. Your privacy policy document should also cover all the necessary rules and guidelines for important concepts like consent, access, and breach management for your staff members.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over to You<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data privacy realm is always changing.\u202fThis is why business leaders must make sure that their company is following all the necessary rules and regulations and that they are always up to date with the latest changes. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we talk about data privacy and all the rules and regulations that belong to that intricate ecosystem, we must address the fact this regulatory landscape is always evolving.
