Data security, governance and compliance is a moving target. Data security breaches seem to be daily news. Regulations for data usage and privacy are changing more frequently. Most importantly – data itself is always changing. New data silos, more copies of data than ever before, and data combined in unforeseen ways are all significant challenges. Securing and governing data requires a constant, adaptive approach vs. a one-time snapshot. That’s where a Data Security Consultant comes in.

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solutions solve those challenges by finding, classifying, and mapping data across your organization. Data security issues are flagged and tasks are generated to remediate those data security issues before they become bigger problems. DSPM solutions are the modern approach to data security – always observing, evolving and acting as the your data environment constantly changes. 

The complication is that enterprise software isn’t quite self-service. Implementing it within your data environment requires expertise. That’s how a Data Security Consultant can help. The combination of expertise in data security, data management, analytics & AI, and business processes ensures that your data security posture management software is implemented and adopted across your organization.

The benefits of data security posture management are significant. Avoiding data breaches and the related costs. Preventing loss of brand equity. Eliminating labor costs of manually discovering data. Above all –  data trustworthiness is improved, which increases data usage across the enterprise. An experienced data security consultant ensures that business value is actually realized, and in a timely manner.
