Data Privacy Management

Epiq’s data privacy team has expertise with privacy processes and technology and can implement, customize, build, run, monitor, and enhance our clients’ data privacy risk management initiatives.

One of the biggest challenges many organizations face today is controlling their risk exposure. While this has always been a challenge, there has also been an expansion in the types of risks companies have to deal with over the last several years. In addition to the external risk factor that we continuously hear about in the news (cyberattacks, ransomware, DDoS), security teams also need to find ways to control and lower an enterprise’s risk exposure from inside the company.

Insider risk exposure comes in various forms because the data footprint within a company has multiplied exponentially in the last couple of decades. And with the added use of cloud services in recent years has created a scenario where the data no longer sits within the proverbial four walls of a company’s data center but is scattered in different locations worldwide. Exposure risks have significantly been compounded with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing users to work outside the office, meaning companies must find different ways to provide productive access to data and applications. When you combine that with the continuous evolution of security and privacy regulations managing this risk becomes what seems to be an impossible task.

Epiq delivers custom solutions regardless of the company’s size, data environment, or risk profile. From small engagements to ongoing managed services, we help each organization better define, implement, and operationalize data privacy programs.
