Data Management
Who has access to your critical data? Where is it stored? Is it encrypted? What data do you need to defend against a cyberattack?
Our Data Management service maps information systems and IT environments to prioritize asset security. We assess personal data protection and confidentiality to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data protection principles. Securing servers and cloud services reduces vulnerabilities exploited during cyberattacks and cybercrime scenarios. We assist CIOs and Data Controllers in formalizing security policies and organizational and technical security measures. Audits identify vulnerabilities in IT systems and provide an action plan to improve security levels. Our recommendations cover encryption, cryptography, and appropriate encryption measures to protect sensitive data in transit and at rest. We review authentication mechanisms and password policies to reduce unauthorized access vectors. Data processing governance enables the tracking of data flows, optimizes risk management, and documents the contractual obligations of service providers. Our deliverables facilitate CNIL audit evidence and demonstrate compliance during controls and breach notification processes. Data security includes pseudonymization, data masking, and DevSecOps best practices to limit exposure in development environments. We build Data Classification repositories to identify which data should be encrypted and which should remain accessible. Personal data protection is integrated throughout the lifecycle (collection, storage, use, deletion, portability) to safeguard privacy. Our technical controls strengthen information system security and the digital security of endpoints and connected devices. We assess resilience to security incidents by simulating exfiltration and penetration testing to validate operational response. This approach combines IT security and legal compliance to align CNIL, ANSSI, and industry-specific requirements. IT security policies are translated into operational playbooks to organize response and traceability in the event of an incident. We audit subcontractors and processors to ensure that contractual clauses effectively protect their data and responsibilities. Implementing security solutions (EDR, SIEM, DLP) and segmentation reduces the attack surface and protects information security. Our risk analyses link business impact to technical vulnerabilities to optimize the prioritized remediation plan. Securing systems involves practical measures: server hardening, access management, and encrypted logs and backups. We advise on architectures and processes to ensure IT systems remain secure, traceable, and compliant. A Data Management strategy strengthens overall system security and limits exposure to targeted attacks and hacking. Our training courses raise awareness of confidentiality issues and best practices for protecting personal data on a daily basis. Request a Data Management audit to map your data, assess your security level, and define priority security measures.
