Data privacy and security is top of mind for every enterprise. New data privacy and security laws, as well as updates to existing laws, are popping up all around the globe. Although it's critical to manage these laws properly, the growing number of high-profile and very expensive data breaches is another key concern and growing risk. Ventiv Technology believes security should be a major factor when evaluating any third-party vendor's solution, but especially for risk management information software. We back that belief up by being the only vendor in our industry to employ a chief information security officer. Having a CISO, who reports to Ventiv's CEO, is proof of Ventiv's commitment to incorporating data security into all aspects of our business, from strategic planning to day-to-day operations. The Ventiv private cloud that hosts our applications and client data is the risk, insurance and safety market's only single-source, fully accountable technology infrastructure certified by third-party audits to be compliant in its entirety with HIPAA Security and HITECH regulations and with the ISO 27001 security standard. It's important to know that there are no gaps in Ventiv's third-party audits and accreditations. Other cloud-based technology providers are often able to produce some forms of certification, but what if you ask to examine them closely? You'll find those certifications apply only to portions of their technology infrastructure, policies and procedures provided by only one of their several fourth- and fifth- party providers. Getting clarity on the scope of these certifications and piecing them together to ensure complete coverage is a risky proposition. More than ever, every enterprise is at risk of a data breach. The primary targets of cyber criminals used to be technology, financial and healthcare firms. Today, fourth- and fifth-party cloud providers are targeted because the payoff from gaining illegal access can span across all industries. That means data breaches are a threat to every organization. Can you afford to ignore data security in your decision-making process? DATA BREACH PROTECTION
