How can you mitigate the impact of data theft? Collaborative Melissa has published best practices (advice and measures) for organizations facing them.
The advice is for organizations that have (had) to deal with data theft, and whose employees and customers are at risk of so-called 'secondary victimization'. These parties will be confronted with the consequences in the second instance if personal data have been stolen during the incident.
The document includes tips you can use during various stages of dealing with such a data theft. For example, what to communicate and how to prevent employees and customers from becoming victims of identity fraud. View the best practices.
