Strac’s Latest Views on Securing User Data

Google Sheets DLP

In this article, we discuss how Strac can assist with Google Sheets Pseudonymization. Strac Google Sheets Pseudonymization replaces sensitive data in Google Sheets with format-preserving pseudonyms for productivity, compliance, and security. It functions as a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tool, creating anonymized copies of original sheets, allowing developers and analysts to work without accessing sensitive information. This process aids compliance with privacy laws like GDPR and HIPAA, enhances security by reducing risks of data exposure, and improves productivity by automating the pseudonymization process. Strac supports pseudonymization of a variety of sensitive data elements, ensuring data privacy in testing and analysis. Book a call with me here to talk more about this.

I also discuss the new PCI 4.0 requirements that necessitate strict access controls, encryption, and proactive incident response strategies. Lastly, I explore Strac's DLP solutions which can enhance OneDrive's security by detecting, redacting, and monitoring sensitive data to prevent leaks and ensure compliance with PCI DSS and other regulations.

Is Slack PCI Compliant?

In this blog post, I discuss Slack PCI Compliance and why storing PCI data in Slack is not recommended due to security risks. While Slack offers robust security measures, it is primarily a communication tool and not designed for secure PCI data storage. I explore the PCI 4.0 requirements that mandate strict access controls, encryption, and proactive incident response, making it challenging to ensure compliance when using Slack for PCI data. I also discuss how Strac's DLP solutions can help prevent PCI data leaks in Slack by detecting, redacting, and monitoring sensitive information, thereby enhancing data security and compliance.
