Morgan Stanley made headlines earlier this month when they were required to pay a $60 million fine for a 2016 data breach.

In today's episode, Aparavi's Darryl Richardson and Beth Winters discuss the Morgan Stanley breach, how the company failed to protect their customer data, what lessons other businesses can learn from their mistakes, and how data intelligence and automation could have helped Morgan Stanley avoid this costly breach.

Managing data can be an overwhelmingly tedious and complex process. Too many companies are facing massive data sprawl and an abundance of outdated or trivial data, which makes it difficult to keep track of your files and find what you need when you need it.

How can enterprise-level organizations effectively manage the gargantuan volumes of data they store, often across many disparate locations? We explain how intelligence and automation help.

As data privacy legislation expands, the process of responding to regulatory requests can be very tedious, time-consuming, and frustrating without the right tools.

In today's episode, we look how you can find data in response to DSAR (data subject access rights) requests or other GDPR requirements. How can effective data management make it easier to find the right files? What are the best ways to keep on top of ever-evolving data privacy legislation?

In this series, we've been taking you through the EU's GDPR compliance checklist, how you can address each step of the list, and how to make compliance easy with automation and intelligence.

In our final part of the series, we look at what is arguably the most important section of the checklist: privacy rights. What are best practices for handling the data you're collecting and making sure it's protected? We'll explain how to understand and manage your data privacy to ensure compliance with the GDPR and similar legislation.

In this four-part podcast series, we're looking at the European Union's guide to GDPR compliance and taking you through a step-by-step checklist.

In this episode, part three, we look at the accountability and governance stage of the EU's GDPR compliance checklist. What steps should your company take to comply with the GDPR and other data privacy laws? How can you make those steps easier?

Stay tuned for the final installment in our series, released next week.

The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took the business world by storm when it went into effect in May 2018. Organizations around the globe have had to implement significant changes to their data management strategy to avoid steep fines. Today, many companies are still working toward complete GDPR compliance while also shifting their strategy to address emerging data privacy legislation like California's CCPA.

In this four-part series, Aparavi's Darryl Richardson and Beth Winters walk through the GDPR compliance checklist outlined by the EU. This episode zeroes in on the first stage, lawful basis and transparency. Darryl and Beth explore the steps included in this stage and how you can address these steps easily and effectively to comply with the GDPR and other data privacy laws.

Stay tuned for parts two through four addressing the remaining stages of the GDPR compliance checklist.

Data privacy regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grant your customers and employees the right to request access to their personal information in the form of DSARs (Data Subject Access Requests), also sometimes referred to as DSAR Requests (Data Subject Access Rights Requests). Handling these requests, though, can be a major burden, especially in the face of data sprawl and limited insight into your files.

In this episode, we look at DSAR requests and their significance in relation to data privacy legislation like the CCPA and GDPR. We explain how data intelligence and automation can can help expedite these requests so you can remain compliant with data privacy laws and avoid expensive fines.

In this episode of The Aparavi Podcast, our special guest Tony Gaughan, CTO at RStor, joins Darryl Richardson for a conversation on optimizing cloud storage and reducing its costs.

They discuss the evolution of cloud storage, solving the problem of ROT data, why RStor's storage solution is unique, and how smart policies can streamline data movement and cut costs. 

The California Consumer Privacy Act stirred up many organizations' approach to data privacy when it went into effect earlier this year. Now, those businesses may need to rethink their data management strategy once more, thanks to a new measure on November's ballot.

In this episode, Darryl Richardson and Beth Winters discuss the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 and its corresponding ballot measure, California Proposition 24. Which data is regulated by these acts? How will the CCPA change if this measure passes? What do you need to do to prepare? We answer your burning CPRA and Proposition 24 questions.
