A Practical Resource for IM and Privacy Professionals
More than just a statistical tool, the dashboard offers meaningful insights to help organisations strengthen their information protection and privacy practices.
For records and information managers, the dashboard provides:
-
Trend visibility to understand emerging threats and vulnerabilities
-
Cause analysis to identify weak points across processes and systems
-
Risk insights to inform stronger policies, controls and governance
-
Support for privacy-by-design, operational resilience and improved decision-making
By reviewing breach patterns across industries, IM professionals can refine access controls, reinforce secure handling practices and champion a culture where information is treated as a high-value asset.
