Summary: In the age of cyber threats, organizations must prioritize data privacy and safeguard personal identifiable information (PII). The ever-evolving threat landscape requires a holistic approach to cybersecurity that is tailored to an organization's unique needs and risk profiles. Adopting a 'data reduction and minimization' approach can help businesses protect sensitive information and reduce the risk of data breaches. Small businesses should take extra precautions when dealing with customer data and limit the storage of sensitive information. Active data purging is necessary to minimize risk, and businesses must invest in revising their information storage practices. Without addressing these risks, businesses are more likely to experience cyberattacks and issues with storing PII in the future.
