SB188 Does not share sensitive information with unauthorised recipients
Sharing sensitive information with unauthorised recipients is harmful for the company and places the integrity of sensitive data at risk.
Why is it important?
Sensitive information should only be shared with those who need to know. Sensitive information in the wrong hands may be leaked or used for malicious purposes. This puts the organisation – and individuals – at risk of financial and reputational harm.
