Access control at the core
Effective access controls are essential for safeguarding sensitive information and mitigating the risk of unauthorized access. Pretectum CMDM offers robust authentication, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control (RBAC), to enforce granular data access policies.
By limiting access to privileged resources and implementing least privilege principles according to your organizational needs, you can configure Pretectum CMDM in such a way, that it reduces the attack surface and fortifies your organization’s customer-data-defense-in-depth strategy. Additionally, continuous logging and tracking of user activity enables early opportunities for the detection of suspicious behavior, further enhancing access control management.
Customer data within the platform is encrypted at rest and data transits securely, thereby protecting confidentiality and maintaining data integrity. The Pretectum CMDM platform integrates robust encryption protocols and secure communication channels, such as SSL/TLS, to ensure end-to-end encryption. By encrypting sensitive information both within the organization’s infrastructure and during transmission, Pretectum CMDM mitigates the risk of data breaches and unauthorized interception. Centralized key management also enhances the scalability and efficiency of encryption processes, facilitating seamless data protection between the platform and diverse customer source and target environments.
Training, Awareness, and Education
Educating your employees on cybersecurity best practices is key to an effective data management and data governance protection and security program. Often you would find that while the technology is secure and doing its job of protecting the data, often the weak link is the human element.
It is therefore essential that your organization foster a security-conscious culture within teams that work with customer data in particular. Pretectum CMDM can support such efforts with training content as required to help raise awareness among your staff. By empowering employees with the knowledge and skills to identify potential threats and behave and respond appropriately, they’re more effective in protecting your customer data assets. Pretectum CMDM can serve to strengthen the human firewall.
Monitoring user behavior and enforcing security policies is integral to the platform to mitigate the risk of various kinds of threats, this further enhances your organization’s data security and cyber security posture.
Educating your customers on your secure online practices accompanied by data verification, attestation, and consent is essential for building consumer trust and loyalty for your brand. The Pretectum CMDM enables your organization to educate your customers accordingly, through notifications and requests that you can incorporate into your customer relationship management campaigns. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and account activity monitoring may not be something you talk to your customers about but for your staff, knowledge that the Pretectum CMDM has these capabilities will enhance team awareness and enable them to convey confident answers to customers about your organization’s commitment to keeping their data safe and secure. Transparent communication about security measures fosters trust and strengthens the relationship between your organization and its customers.
Staying Compliant
Adhering to data protection regulations is imperative for maintaining regulatory compliance and protecting customer data. Pretectum CMDM supports a more comprehensive compliance management approach by enabling an organization to streamline its ability to match regulatory requirements with its data management processes. This drives better assurances around adherence to data privacy requirements.
The ability to automate compliance assessments and generate audit reports is simplified in the Pretectum CMDM. This means that you have the opportunity to reduce some of the complexities of regulatory compliance, and in turn, you reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties and reputational damage. Continuous monitoring and real-time alerts also facilitate proactive risk management, ensuring ongoing compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks.
While the Pretectum CMDM will not generate your incident response plan, it would help support your organization in elaborating concepts in the response plan. It is essential, that as an organization that holds and uses customer data, you establish a clear incident response plan. Such a plan is essential for minimizing the impact of security breaches and restoring normal operations promptly.
Pretectum CMDM can support many of your response plan attributes depending on the types of action you need to take. Extensive search, for example, supports an organization in compiling incident responses and ensuring easier collaboration among stakeholders, this means that Pretectum CMDM enhances the effectiveness of response efforts and subject access requests (SAR). Post-incident analysis and documentation are also facilitated as a part of continuous improvement and resilience-building initiatives, strengthening the organization’s overall data and cyber security posture.
Pretectum CMDM offers additional capabilities for organizations seeking to fortify their defenses against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, especially those targeting customer data assets. By leveraging this advanced technology together with best practices, an organization that uses Pretectum CMDM not only addresses multifaceted cybersecurity concerns but also empowers organizations in their efforts to proactively monitor, assess, and mitigate risks.
Through robust access controls, encryption, and monitoring support, Pretectum CMDM provides assurances about the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data. CMDM supports customer data training, awareness, and compliance management underscoring organizational commitment to a culture of security and regulatory adherence. Ultimately, Pretectum CMDM serves as a strategic ally in the ongoing battle against poor customer data quality and cyber threats, enabling organizations to safeguard customer data assets and uphold trust and loyalty in the digital age.
