Protecting your Data at all stages of your Business Intelligence project

At all stages of your Business Intelligence project

PROTECTING YOUR DATA

Protecting your data is difficult enough, but when you add Business Intelligence into the mix many organisations get overwhelmed, unsure about where to start and what security measures to put in place. Such confusion leads many to either suspend their BI project, or to press on and hope for the best.

The key to mastering BI and data security lies in taking things one step at a time. Look at each phase of your BI project in turn, and consider how you can secure the data involved in that stage.

Introduction

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

STAGE ONE

Securing your raw data

(e.g. BYOD)

The first step of any BI project is to identify the raw data you want to analyse. After all, if you don’t know what data you can and want to use in your BI project, you can’t start your BI project.

Raw data comes in many forms – from data stored on legacy systems, customer data, organisational financial data – and it’s important to protect each and every type of data.

STAGE TWO

Securing your raw data is just step one. Step two is securing your raw data whilst it’s in transit.

So how do you get your data from point A (wherever it’s sitting in its raw form) to point B (the BI project leader) so they can upload it to point C (the BI tool)? And what’s more, how do you do it securely?

STAGE THREE

BI projects can offer incredibly detailed and exciting insights, and so the temptation is often to act immediately, share those results across your company, and act on them immediately. But given how valuable these results are, organisations need to think carefully about how they’re going to store and access them.
