12 Considerations for Opening Your Next Account – Part 1

Have you ever opened an account and regretted it? Has your private data been used, abused, and breached? We have years of experience fighting with hundreds, if not thousands of different apps and services to harden, sanitize, delete sensitive information, and recover from data breaches. In this episode, we share our insights from these experiences so you can hopefully avoid the pitfalls we and our clients have encountered over the years. More specifically, here in Part 1 of 2, we discuss: 1. Avoiding data silo mentality; 2. Your account and data can be taken away at any time; 3. Policies can change against you at any time; 4. If a system can ID you, assume this is permanent; 5. Apps/services making it difficult or impossible to change or delete data; and 6. Some systems will disable your account when you change your data. Take these considerations seriously when you consider opening your next account and stay tuned for Part 2.
