Sensitive Files in International Deals

The sensitive nature of documents in international transactions are a growing concern for corporate executives. They are usually classified as hypersensitive and are the most valuable assets for a company. They can pose a serious risk if they fall into the wrong hands. If it’s financial information or personal data, or trade secrets, any type of sensitive data can become a victim for cybercriminals.

Inappropriate, misuse, or unauthorized access to sensitive data could negatively impact national security and federal programs as well as the privacy that individuals are entitled to under the Privacy Act. See also controlled unclassified information (CUI).

Moderate sensitivity information consists of information that has a legal obligation to safeguard but the leakage of this information will cause minor harm to the people and organizations affected. Examples include the building plans and donor records, data about intellectual property, details about IT services, visas, and other travel documents as well as security information.

A global company needs to identify which of its data falls within the PHI of HIPAA or PI under GDPR and ensure it’s stored and transferred efficiently.
