Data Protection and Compliance
Data protection and compliance are paramount in today's digital landscape, where personal and sensitive information is exchanged and stored with increasing frequency. Everyone has the right to privacy protection, so end users can protect and maintain control over their personal and sensitive information. Data protection ensures that information is correctly used, handled and accessed with authorisation.
Conversely, compliance involves adhering to relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards that govern how data should be handled, processed, and stored.
Compliance is essential due to its multifaceted benefits to an organisation. Firstly, compliance ensures adherence to laws, regulations, and industry standards, helping avoid legal repercussions, hefty fines, and sanctions. Moreover, it safeguards an organisation's reputation by demonstrating ethical practices, which fosters trust among customers, partners, and the public. Compliance mitigates various operational risks, enhances competitive advantage, and streamlines processes, improving efficiency.
By respecting data protection regulations, organisations preserve customer trust while adhering to cybersecurity standards helps prevent data breaches. Ultimately, maintaining compliance underscores an organisation's commitment to responsibility, transparency, and long-term viability while bolstering employee morale and stakeholder confidence.
When a company unintentionally discloses sensitive information or a security incident results in the unintentional or unlawful destruction, loss, or manipulation of sensitive data, this is known as exposure. Here at Fifosys, we have a comprehensive range of awareness solutions designed to educate and give users the knowledge they need to protect themselves and their employers.
In addition to this, at Fifosys, we have obtained and retained the ISO27001 certification over many years, thus highlighting how committed we are to compliance-related issues.

Identity management
Identification, authorisation, and authentication are the three basic identity management concepts. An individual, device, or application's capacity to be uniquely identified within a corporate network based on its characteristics is known as identification. Examples include user names, process IDs, email addresses, and employee numbers. Security systems use this identity to decide whether a subject can access an object.
Using a network entity's credentials as a basis, authentication is the act of confirming the identity asserted by the entity. Three elements can be used as proof:
Knowledge factor, based on a piece of information the user is aware of, like a password or PIN
The user's acquisition of an object, such as an identity card, smart card, or security token, is evidence of ownership.
An inheritance factor dependent on a user trait like fingerprints or another biometric.
Authorisation is the process of granting access to network resources for a specific entity or type of user identity in a manner consistent with the enterprise policies and governance and, for example, giving a user permission to edit something shared.
