Monitor and track access to Consumer Sensitive Data
Posted by davidstech on November 27, 2009
Private and confidential customer and company data is often locked in production systems; credit card data, social security numbers, financial, HR data and customer lists are just a few of the fields that need to be stored securely. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and HIPAA are just the latest in a long line of privacy regulations that will directly impact organizations that fail to secure their corporate data. Data masking enacts policy based archiving schemes where specific, sensitive data is masked according to pre-set algorithms before the database is released to the test environment.
In a 2005 survey conducted by retail data security, “Retail Data Security 2005 Benchmark Study,”it was found that retailers collecting and retaining customer specific purchase information are using this information for more than consumer-specific or one-to-one marketing. Recent breaches of retailer database systems show that in many cases this personal information, such as POS and customer personal data, is not being used as intended and has become a target for theft.
Organizations can mitigate the impact of data growth by running batch reports during downtime, purchasing faster hardware or utilizing the purge functionality. None of these strategies fully address the reality of database growth and the need for long term data retention. To maintain performance of Microsoft SQL Server archiving based applications while ensuring compliance, organizations must understand the impact of growing application databases to productivity and resource costs.
