5 Ways to Help Employees Be #PrivacyAware This Data Privacy Day
Explore How Managed IT Services Can Help Protect Your Data Privacy
1. Help Employees Manage Their Individual Privacy
The purpose of Data Privacy Day is to raise awareness and promote privacy and data protection best practices. Millions of people are unaware of and uninformed about how their personal information is being used, collected or shared in our digital society. Data Privacy Day aims to inspire dialogue and empower individuals and companies to take action.
Encourage employees to update their individual account privacy settings by visiting Update Your Privacy Settings on staysafeonline.org.
2. Host a Lunch & Learn
Invite outside speakers to talk to employees about why privacy matters. Engage staff by asking them to consider how privacy and data security applies to the work they do on a daily basis, regardless of department. You could even invite your employees to join NCSA’s Data Privacy Day event virtually via livestream on January 28!
