Bring more clarity and control to data compliance.
As organisations manage growing volumes of data across increasingly decentralised workplaces, keeping information secure, governed and compliant can quickly become difficult to manage. Data often lives in more places than expected, making it harder to understand what needs protecting and where the biggest risks sit.
In this on-demand webinar, CWSI and Microsoft explore practical ways to govern, protect and manage your data estate without adding unnecessary complexity to day-to-day operations.
Paul Conaty, Secure Data Practice Lead at CWSI, is joined by Microsoft Technical Specialists Tim Hermie and Ahmad Mashoq to discuss the realities of modern data compliance, the challenges organisations face in data-heavy environments, and how to build a more structured and manageable approach to protecting sensitive information.
In this session you’ll learn:
1
The compliance challenges facing decentralised workplaces.
2
Common risks associated with data security and compliance.
3
How to identify and classify important organisational data.
4
Practical steps for building a data compliance strategy.
5
Tools that support stronger governance and information protection.
6
Ways to manage compliance without slowing the business down.
