Most firms feel confident they know where their data resides — right up until an audit or breach proves otherwise.
Data isn’t sitting neatly in one place anymore. It’s spread across laptops, shared drives, cloud platforms, investor portals, and vendor systems. If you don’t know exactly where it lives — and who has their hands on it — you can’t protect it or prove control when it matters.
Here’s what you can do:
🧭 Take a full inventory of all of your sensitive data
👥 Verify access rights regularly
🗓️ Review quarterly
Knowing where your sensitive data lives isn’t optional — it’s how you protect your firm, your clients, and your reputation.
