SIX STEPS TO HELP PREVENT DATA THEFT

1An excellent article in Corporate Counsel lists these guidelines to help minimize the risk of preventing data from walking out the door:
  1. Ensure that employees sign confidentiality and invention-assignment agreements on the first day of work, if not before.
  2. Provide meaningful training.
  3. Gain control of remote-access and data-protection policies.
  4. Set up data protection and employee mobility restrictions affect incoming and outgoing employees.
  5. Let laptops cool off before allowing the IT department to repurpose them.
  6. Don't rely on only unpredictable non-competition covenants alone.
