Secure Value
Consideration for protecting company information in all business decisions builds and protects value.
Information security protects and builds value for businesses of all sizes. Yet, executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders who make business decisions about the information in their business do not have the tools to include information security into their decision making. This blog will detail information security topics at an executive level to assist business leaders, executives and entreprenuers in making decisions that build value.
As an entrepreneur I understand how critical trust is to success. People aren’t going to do business with organization’s they don’t trust. As president of an information security solution provider, Jacadis (www.jacadis.com), Columbus, Ohio, I work with business leaders and executives nervous that their company's critical data might be exposed and who are scared they are not compliant with the layers of government rules and regulations. Taking it one step further they should concern themselves with building a trustable business. Most executives and entrepreneurs don’t have enough working knowledge of information security to include it planning. The field is highly technical filled with jargon, complicated technologies, rules and regulations all supported by an alphabet soup of acronyms. And so great business ideas get built and launched with little to no practical information security protections. Value is limited or exposed. We don't build buildings without locks. Decisions about how we collect, store, process and protect data impact customer trust. Yet, we do build technology solutions, information driven processes and innovative products without "locks". Why? Is trust important in your business? Do you extend a trustable network to your customers? Do you have the tools to answer?
