Many businesses have the challenge of disparate data with incorrect retention periods for backup and archives. This can mean either more data is being protected than it needs to or data isn’t being retained for compliance that should be. The latter can result in significant fines from legislation bodies. phoenix47 offers Businesses and their IT departments a Data Classification Service that aligns the Business, the importance of data to its IT Services. This Service includes:
DATA ASSESSMENT: We assess the current state with the Business and Data Compliance teams and document the importance of data by type. This is regardless of the current IT policies and services.
IT POLICY REVIEW: We review the current IT policies and retentions for backup and archive data. Typically this is not aligned to the Business needs of Compliance requirements. These software policies are documented and any gaps highlighted.
DATA CLASSIFICATION: We author a Data Classification policy document to align the IT services, and retentions by data importance and type to the business.
REMEDIATION SERVICE: Working closely with the IT teams, we assess the cost to remediate gaps and assist with implementing the policy and infrastructure changes required to align the IT Services to the business.
