As Yogi would say, it’s like déjà vu all over again. 143 Million customers with compromised personal information. Let that number sink in for a moment. And in the irony of ironies, from the very company that many of us are directed to go to when our identities are compromised.

Too often, we look at documents as just pieces of paper or digital files that contain information. We often forget to consider the value of that document. Some documents are assigned value based on time to write (like a very large document) or potential fines if done wrong (like a regulatory or compliance document). But every document has some value.

There is a considerable divergence of opinion about the relationship between privacy rights and security concerns. Opinion polls reflect such a divided sentiment. A 2016 survey by Pew Research Center found that while 56% of survey participants want more to be done to keep the country safe, 52% remain seriously concerned about the scope of surveillance programs that may intrude upon their privacy, notably monitoring of internet search habits, email messages, and social media interactions.

Information Security | Sharepoint and Office 365
For the past many years, I’ve been focused on creating better, easier, and more reliable ways of gathering information. I learned early on that we had to give some incentives to people if we wanted them to cooperate without information gathering efforts. If we could improve a process that was still somewhat manual, for example, we could encourage people to put stuff in SharePoint. If we could move some of that content to SharePoint Online, making access easier and more dependable, we might further encourage people to use the platform. Still, the bulk of our energy was being spent on collecting, identifying, and processing the information on its way into permanent storage.
