8 simple steps to reduce the risk to privacy

We are all responsible for protecting people’s privacy. It’s your responsibility to process personal data as carefully as possible. Here are 8 simple steps to help you significantly reduce the risk to privacy.

Data leaks

Any loss of control over stored personal data constitutes a potential data leak. In most cases this concerns stolen (or lost) digital files, but a stolen (or mislaid) printed list containing personal data also represents a data leak. You must report all data leaks to the ISSC Helpdesk (tel. 8888). You should also report phishing or other forms of cybercrime.
