In this episode…

The recent security regulations and SEC cyber rules have shifted companies’ focus from risking fines to maintaining mandatory compliance. While these regulations force businesses to adopt stringent security and ethical data privacy practices, some privately held companies are turning a blind eye. What strategic measures can businesses implement to comply with these regulations?

Many privately held companies don’t understand that regardless of their size, they must adhere to new SEC rules and thoroughly review security contract addendums to avoid breach response hijacks by publicly traded companies. Companies also need to understand that compliance involves more than just reviewing security addendums or publishing a privacy policy on their website. They must prove they follow these policies. Even when companies have cybersecurity solutions, follow the rules, and achieve compliance, they may still get breached. That's why companies like Digital Hands aim to get ahead of every threat. With its “get there first” approach to security, Digital Hands maintains speed and flexibility to execute security solutions, taking a proactive approach to compliance.

In today’s She Said Privacy/He Said Security episode, Jodi and Justin Daniels welcome Charlotte Baker, the CEO of Digital Hands, to discuss the strategic measures businesses can implement to comply with security regulations. Charlotte emphasizes the need for multi-factor authentication, the benefits of avoiding point solutions, and the importance of having a strategic roadmap for security maturity.
