Sensitive Information Sharing
The Challenge - Sensitive information requires sensitive care
The day to day needs of sharing information with users who are not part of the enterprise are growing. Financial and legal information needs to be shared with lawyers or board members who are located out side of the enterprise. Highly-sensitive clinical trial information is shared among research laboratories, medical professionals and federal institutions. Contracts, patents, and other types of sensitive information is also shared on a day to day basis with external entities. As you will not keep your jewelry with your 2-cent coins, you should know your enterprise sensitive information is handled with extra care.
Accessibility and connectivity while maintaining security
The challenge of sharing sensitive data is driven by the trade-off between security and accessibility. You need to be able to share documents and other types of data, without compromising the internal network security, and while maintaining highest level of security as the sensitive data is shared over the internet.
Segregation of duties - Data access to data owners only
How can you be sure your MIS administrators do not know the financial results before the CEO or board of directors? Highly sensitive information is of interest to many people within and outside of your organization. One of the challenges of managing it is to be able to make sure that only data owners will have access to the data.

Adequate auditing and logging mechanisms with access policies should be deployed and enforced, in order to achieve regulatory compliance.
