Understanding Personal Information Protection: Safeguarding Non-Profit Data
Non-profit organizations in British Columbia are bound by privacy laws, particularly PIPA, which dictates how they handle personal information. PIPA outlines the necessity of obtaining consent before managing personal data and requires stringent security measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or loss.
Ensuring Compliance with Microsoft Tools for Non-Profits
Enter Microsoft's Modern Work and Security (MWP), a robust suite designed to aid non-profits in complying with PIPA and enhancing their data security. MWP goes beyond mere compliance; it offers a comprehensive approach to safeguarding against cyber threats.
Compliance Support: Microsoft provides tools within MWP to assess compliance posture, manage risks, and respond to regulatory requests. The Compliance Manager dashboard helps non-profits track progress in meeting PIPA requirements and other standards.
Preventing Data Loss: MWP addresses the crucial issue of preventing data leaks. Non-profits can configure Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to identify, monitor, and protect sensitive data across various platforms, ensuring the security of Microsoft 365 apps, email, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and devices.
Conditional Access: Microsoft empowers non-profits to control data access based on user identity, device status, location, app sensitivity, and risk level. Conditional Access policies can grant or deny access, implementing additional verification steps like multi-factor authentication, password reset, or encryption.
