We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the standard of personal identifiable information?

PII Meaning PII could be as simple as a users name, address, and birthdate or as sensitive as full name, address, social security number, and financial data. In a data breach, PII is a target for attackers due to its high value when sold on darknet markets.

What is the policy of personally identifiable information?

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is defined as: It is the responsibility of the individual user to protect data to which they have access. Users must adhere to the rules of behavior defined in applicable Systems Security Plans, DOL and agency guidance.

Which of the following is a best practice for protecting personally identifiable information?

Encrypt, pseudonymize, or anonymize PII stored in files in motion, at rest, and wherever possible. This renders the PII completely useless even if perpetrators manage to steal it. Use encryption technology that is strong and widely used. The National Institute for Standards and Technology recommends using AES.

What must you ensure before transmitting personally identifiable information?

The better practice is to encrypt any transmission that contains information that could be used by fraudsters or identity thieves.

How do you store personal identifiable information?

Store PII in separate databases, storage accounts, or containers and implement additional access controls to limit access to these segregated areas. Data retention and disposal: Establish data retention policies to store PII only for the required duration and securely dispose of it when its no longer needed.

What is a safe way to send personally identifiable information?

When emailing Sensitive PII outside of DHS, save it in a separate document and password-protect or encrypt it. Send the encrypted document as an email attachment and provide the password to the recipient in a separate email or by phone.

What is the best way to handle documents containing personally identifiable information (PII)?

To protect PII, individuals should: Limit what they share on social media. Shred important documents before discarding them. Be aware to whom they give their SSNs to. Keep their Social Security cards in a safe place. Use a different complex password for each account.

What is the first step in protecting PII?

1. Identify the PII your organization uses. Begin by identifying all the PII your company collects, processes and uses. Once you identify it, you can start planning your security and privacy strategy for protecting it.
