New York (US) and London (UK): A survey conducted by Varonis, the leading provider of comprehensive data governance software, has revealed that 70% of organisations storing third party data are not ‘very confident’ that the sensitive data stored within their organisation is protected. With 80% of organisations surveyed storing sensitive information from customers, clients, vendors and business partners, rather disconcertingly over half were only ‘fairly confident’ that it is protected. Nearly one fifth were ‘not confident at all’ that sensitive data is protected and an astonishing 5% were left ‘unsure’.
