The responsible handling of data across its lifecycle is data management.
Proper data protection is the responsibility of any employee of any organisation; you are responsible for the details of any company to which you have access. You, the organisation and the individuals or groups whose data is processed from related damage will be covered by careful management of the data under your care.
Improper data management can lead to incidents of IT protection that are a cause of identity theft, reputational damage, litigation and extremely costly harm. Data management seeks to minimize these risks without impairing the activities of the organisation.
