Data Breach Response: The Continuous Improvement Cycle (Video)

Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. So said Samuel Beckett. And quite pertinent in the context of data breaches. In this article, Pádraig Walsh from the Privacy and Cybersecurity practice group of Tanner De Witt explains that, in a world where a data breach is almost inevitable, learning from past failures and continuously improving is the key to mitigating data breach risks in future.

 

Culture of continuous improvement

The culture of continuous improvement is imperative to the success of your business. Despite operating carefully designed information security and data protection systems and adhering to information security and data protection policies, data breaches are likely to occur to every business at some stage. The key performance differentiator for your business will be how your organisation reacts to a data breach and improves after the incident.
