Effective Identity and Access Management solutions bring a combination of operational efficiency, compliance enablement, and risk management to the organisation’s management of identity related information.

Information Privacy & Protection

Information is a key component in our cyber world and data loss can have critical impacts. In Information Protection services, Deloitte assists organisations to protect and set up the necessary policies and procedures in order to safeguard your information. These programs range from building data flow worksheets, classifying confidential data to defining actions on the usage of the information in order to protect the data from a leakage stand-point.

Conclusion

While the term cyber security has been around for a while, the volume of attacks and the nature of the cyber threat has evolved. The impact on organisations can be huge as we have seen in the past year. System downtime leads to loss in profits, reputational damage and unhappy customers. Data loss and breaches not only damage brands but also lead to regulatory fines and compensation payouts for affected customers. Cyber has moved beyond the IT department to become a Board-level issue.
