Whatever your organization's industry - be it Government, Healthcare, Insurance, Banking and Finance, or Manufacturing - you're most likely experiencing growth in your mobile workforce and therefore are at risk of losing sensitive, valuable data.

Technology advances and security legislation are outpacing company data security policies, leaving many enterprises increasingly vulnerable to data breaches and to the subsequent costs, brand damage, intellectual property loss, or even threat to national security.

Two questions an organization should ask itself:
1. Do your existing mobile security policies and procedures comply with state and federal legislation?
A security policy alone will only provide a false sense of mobile data protection and potentially lead to the unexpected cost, embarrassment and humiliation of notifying customers, shareholders and competitors about the loss of confidential data. Sifting through available regulatory documentation is difficult, but it is possible to define a "Best Practices" approach to compliance.

Best practices for regulatory compliance
2. Do your existing mobile security policies follow the Mobile Data Security Lifecycle to help you show "reasonable and appropriate"* practices toward regulatory compliance?
Enterprises must detect, protect and manage their data throughout the mobile data lifecycle of an organization, in order to help prevent data breaches and to meet state and federal regulatory requirements for mobile information security.

What is the Mobile Data Security Lifecycle?

* Section 5(a), Federal Trade Commission Act

What do these regulations have in common?
-HIPAA
-Breach Notification legislation in 30+ states
-OMB Security Mandate of 2006 for Government organizations
