What is Data Protection - How To Protect Your Data Using ISO 27001 | 4C Consulting

Data protection is the process of defending sensitive information against loss, tampering, or corruption. In 2022, there have been 4.9 billion internet users worldwide, which is equivalent to 69% of the world’s population.

Data is created and stored at previously unprecedented rates and the significance of data protection grows day by day. Our growing exposure to technology creates an risk of exposure to data breach and cyber attacks.

What is Data Protection

Data protection is the act of preventing crucial data from being corrupted, compromised, or lost and giving the capacity to restore the data to a useable state in the event that something was to happen to make it unavailable or inaccessible.

Data protection ensures that information is not tampered with, is only accessible for permitted uses, and complies with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Data that has been protected must be accessible when needed and usable for the intended function.

How we could protect our data

An information security management standard known as ISO 27001 can be used to manage data privacy. ISO 27001 lays out policies, procedures, and staff training for how firms should manage risk related to information security.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly publish the standard in 2005. Information security standards which is outlined in the ISO 27001 standard is meant to safeguard a company’s data assets against theft or unauthorized access. These criteria assist an organization in managing data protection and information security.

How ISO 27001 manages Data Protection

ISO 27001 describes best practices for an ISMS, a systematic approach consisting of people, processes and technology that helps you protect and manage all your organization’s information through risk management. Following steps mentioned in ISO 27001 helps in data protection;

Define the ISMS scope

Define risk assessment process and methodology

Conduct risk assessment and perform risk management

Define the measurement of effectiveness of your controls and the ISMS

Implement all the applicable controls and procedures

Conduct training and awareness programs for employees

Perform all the daily operations as per your ISMS documentation

Monitor and measure your ISMS and its results

Prepare and validate business continuity plan (BCP)

Perform internal audit

Perform management review

Implement modified or corrective actions

What are the benefits of applying ISO 27001 for Data and Information Security?

Data privacy regulation is getting complex day by day and implementing IOS 27001 Information Security Management System provides the following benefits in managing data privacy;

Management acknowledging the value of organizational information

Increase in customer confidence, satisfaction and trust

Managing sensitive information of customers and business partners, and hence, increased trust of stakeholders and partners

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

y'all i've been upset about nanowrimo's shenanigans since last year, when kids weren't safe, and now there's this AI shitshow, and i want to cry about it again, because nano has been SO IMPORTANT to me since 2008--it helped me hack my writing process and make a bunch of cool shit, and i've written so many stories i love using it as a jumping off point. but. we gotta protect kids, and we gotta get the fuck out of here with AI bullshit.

so. the decision i have come to is that i will still be participating in nano. but now it stands for "now a's [that's me] novel writing month." i'm still going to write a book in november, and i'm still going to shoot for the 1,667 words/day (even though my finished projects wind up way longer than that, invariably), because i've structured my creative life around this routine, but i won't be using their site any more.

i will also not be tagging my november project posts as nanowrimo, but i WILL still be tagging them as "nano[YEAR]" (because that's been my tagging system for untitled projects for uh. years.). and it's now a's novel writing month :)

lmao @ mozilla putting telemetry in firefox, then saying they will "anonymize it" and "not sell it to third parties"... and then a month later they acquire an advertising broker and send your data to that, which technically means it's a first party and their little "promise" isn't broken, while still attempting to send you directed ads based on your browsing data & profit from it

saw a post like "why are there no weird Tumblr users on Tumblr Live doing weird things, it's all Instagram influencer wannabes." and while I do not know anything for certain I wonder if the massive reflexive negative day zero response from people who see themselves as The Old Timers basically killed Live's potential for users to do interesting things with it and ceded that entire part of the site to people who didn't care about what is really a pretty minor design spat.

I would bet you that a few people tried to use Live and got yelled at by their follower base for "legitimising Live" or something ridiculous like that. I don't know if MBARI is still doing their weekly jellyfish stream but if I was the guy in charge of their Tumblr, I would probably have stopped by now.

There's a concerted effort to go around every week and actively hide the Live feed! When I eventually get Live I would be interested in streaming some bugwatching or birding or hiking or whatever but I can see how that could quickly get boring if the only people showing up are median new Tumblr users and not the people I hang out with on the rest of the site.

I've just explained to my mother how local councils do surveys of their tenants and assuaged her paranoia that somehow the council will know her answers if she's honest.

It makes me wonder how many people think they need to lie on these sorts of surveys because they think their answers will be read and they'll be identified for them in a negative way.

So let me reassure y'all here too.

The way most studies and surveys are done is, generally, as follows:

Survey is designed and sent out

Data collected from the surveys gets shoved on a database for analysis

Personal information is removed from the data and the remaining data is anonymised so you're not identified in it. For example: Participant 1 [personal data removed] : survey answers here : choose to be contacted [y/n]

The information that identifies if someone wanted to be contacted is stored separately and has no identifying information connected to their survey answers.

Survey data (minus the personal information) is analysed and used for whatever reason it was collected.

The end.

In the case of my council, they're using an independent third party to collect the data to make it doubly safe for pariticpants to answer honestly. This makes the survey a Blind Survey. Aka survey taker and survey data recipient don't know who answered what or why.

Anonymity is guaranteed, basically.

I know there's lots of worry and concern about the privacy around surveys and data collection and analysis but, any decent survey will do as the above states and that means you're safe from persecution for your answers.

If a survey offers you the choice of being contacted or participating in a focus group, then your personal information is Stored Separately And Used For Only That Thing. It doesn't get connected to your survey answers.

So please, be reassured with this. My mother is, thankfully.

You know how when somebody steals your debit card information, they'll sometimes make a series of very small purchases to check if your card works? Like $1-$5? Somebody did that to me this weekend and I had so little money in my account that they managed to overdraft it just doing that.

Fortunately I use a credit union that won't hit me with nightmare fees for a fraudulent overdraft, and I'm housing/food secure, so instead of this being a huge deal it's an exhausting but ultimately minor annoyance. I am also mildly entertained by the thought of whoever this was going to the effort of getting my card info only to buy a couple of songs/apps/gacha pulls or whatever on the apple store and immediately running out of money. Hope you got your my money's worth, buddy.

not saying me comparing automata to ac4a took away from it but i do think part of my expections were a mix between vastly misunderstanding the nier raids in 14 and assuming automata was going to go in an ac4a-esque way. [very loud obviously joking voice] maybe if they had a Defend Line Ark/Defeat White Glint type scenario this game wouldve sold a bajillion copies
