Employee records, customer details, and other sensitive information need care throughout their lifecycle. Learners practice recognizing data that requires protection and review approved approaches to storage, access, sharing, and disposal. In the microLab, they classify realistic records and decide which information needs safeguards.

Participants in this course will learn the following:

• Recognize sensitive data. Identify critical information that requires protection, such as personal or financial details.
• Use approved storage. Store sensitive data in secure, designated systems to prevent unauthorized access.
• Manage permissions. Restrict data access to authorized individuals and regularly review permissions.
• Secure data transmission. Use encryption methods and verify recipients to ensure safe data sharing.
• Dispose securely. Follow proper data destruction methods to prevent recovery of sensitive information.
