As a public sector actor, most of the information you create and collect becomes a document of public interest – tasking you with the responsibility to protect sensitive information, and preserve relevant data.

In this blog post we take a look at 1 of 6 social media risk areas for the public sector and how to handle them. 

 

RISK #1

Failing to protect and preserve relevant data 

 


Social media is a third party platform

While we use social media platforms to communicate, that communication is not fully owned or hosted by us. This puts us in a tricky situation regards to information management.

 

The risk to your data on social media

  • It is owned by a third party
  • It is located in the cloud
  • It's accessibility is subject to regular change
  • There is no guarantee it will be stored indefinitely
  • It is subject to varying national regulations

 

  • Assess

    • Do we know what data to store?
    • Do we know where that data is hosted?
    • Do we have a plan for regular preservation?
    • Do we store internal customer care conversations externally
