Information Security Training

DIGIGUARD’s information security training will help your business protect and secure personal, proprietary and confidential data. Business information is stored and transmitted digitally, making it possible to share, lose or corrupt large quantities of information quickly. Businesses regularly collect and process data every day. New data protection regulations are constantly being imposed on businesses, and the consequences of non-compliance are significant both in terms of financial loss and reputation loss.

Data loss, damage and inaccessibility risks come from both internal and external forces. Internal data loss may result from intentional malicious acts, negligence or ignorance. External data loss can be a result of cybercriminals, missing devices or on-site intruders. Information security training is an integral part of a company’s risk management and cybersecurity landscape. Our team will help train your employees to protect these components of business data and information:

• Confidentiality – We will help you limit access to data to protect personal, financial and proprietary information.
• Integrity – We will help you protect information from corruption, unauthorized changes or disposal.
• Availability – We will help you keep data available to those who need to use it.
