The holiday season brings more than just festivities—it introduces heightened cybersecurity risks for businesses. With cyber attacks increasing 30% during peak shopping periods, is your organization fully protected?
5 Essential Compliance Checks for Year-End Security:
1. Regulatory Alignment
Review your compliance with regional requirements like GDPR, CCPA, or industry-specific regulations \(HIPAA, GLBA\). Different regions mean different rules—know which apply to you.
2. Holiday Defense Strategy
Combat seasonal threats: phishing spikes, fraudulent sites, and DDoS attacks. Run response drills with your teams, especially during reduced holiday staffing.
3. Data Privacy Protection
Handle customer data surges properly. Verify your privacy controls meet current standards across all regions where you operate.
4. Crisis Response Readiness
Maintain an updated incident response plan. Confirm your holiday coverage, communication protocols, and emergency procedures are current and tested.
5. Proactive System Management
Schedule critical updates before peak periods. Keep systems patched, monitored, and backed up. Don’t let reduced holiday staffing compromise your security.
