No business is exempt from meeting some kind of compliance or governing regulation. These controls are put in place (generally speaking) to help ensure trust and consistency when dealing with goods and services.

The surge in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, in an era where data is the lifeblood of business, has been nothing short of revolutionary.

Many of us rely on data more than we know. Beyond the IT applications we may use at work, there’s the holiday snaps we share, the news we read each morning, the online orders we place. We often take it for granted that data will be available as and when we need it. But of course, especially at enterprise scale, this is only possible with proactive data protection.
