Five Common Misconceptions about Structured and Unstructured Data
Key Takeaways: Structured data is quantitative (anything you can easily store in rows and columns) and relatively easier to keep compliant. Unstructured data is qualitative (think your emails and Teams chats) and much harder to manage. Nearly all organizations are operating under one or more misconceptions about their data (and compliance or lack thereof with new privacy laws!). The Two Types of Data Your Organization is Accumulating (and Why You Should Care) We’ll start with why you should care. If you’re familiar with the data compliance space, you already know that new laws require your organization to take specific steps to protect the rights of anyone whose data they hold. (If you’re not familiar with data compliance – surprise!) The first step to maintaining compliance with these laws is understanding what data your organization actually has. Not having this understanding is dangerous for three reasons: The less you know about your data holdings, the […]
Retention and deletion of PI collected during COVID-19
OAIC has published a new guidance on retention and deletion of personal information (PI) collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. As restrictions continue to ease, entities should take stock of personal information they hold and assess whether it is necessary to continue to collect and retain PI. Australian Privacy Principles 11.1 and 11.2 require that reasonable steps be taken to protect personal information and personal information be destroyed or deidentified once it is no longer needed. If information is stored electronically, such as in cloud-based storage, servers, USBs or with a third-party provider, you should ensure that the digital records are permanently destroyed, including in any back-up system or offsite storage. It is also important to consider whether employees require any training to ensure that personal information is securely destroyed. Access the Guidance here.
