Our team has one question we like to ask in the homes and offices we visit: where is your data actually kept?
Take Sam, a deputy manager, who saves the staff rota and residents’ care notes on her own desktop, because that is where she has always put them. When Sam is off sick on a Monday, the home manager cannot find the rota anywhere. That makes for a difficult morning, but on its own it is not a data breach. It becomes one if Sam’s laptop is then lost, stolen or stops working with no backup, because the care notes are lost with it. A personal data breach like that would usually need reporting to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator, within 72 hours of finding out.
Many businesses do not realise how much of their information sits on personal desktops and in Documents folders rather than on their servers or in SharePoint. Our Where is my data? review finds out where your information is actually being kept. Our team then moves it with you into SharePoint, OneDrive or your server, and works with your teams to change where they save their work.
If you would like our team to find out where your data is living, please email us at hello@honeycombe4.com.
