In today’s digital age, data is invaluable—but it’s also one of the biggest liabilities a company can hold. Headlines are filled with stories of data breaches exposing sensitive information and costing businesses billions. At Sesame Software, we’ve chosen a different path: we don’t keep your data or your customers’ data. This decision isn’t just unique; it’s essential for fostering a secure and privacy-focused approach to data management.
The Risks of Unnecessary Data Retention
Many companies in the tech industry operate under the assumption that storing customer data is necessary for their services. However, this approach comes with significant risks:
- High-Profile Breaches: Breaches at companies like Equifax and Marriott illustrate the catastrophic consequences of retaining vast amounts of sensitive data. Millions of users’ personal information was exposed, leading to financial losses and reputational damage.
- Human Error: Misconfigurations, accidental sharing, or simple oversight can result in data leaks, even within organizations with robust security measures.
- Malicious Threats: The more data a company retains, the more attractive it becomes to cybercriminals. Hackers target these data repositories as potential goldmines for personal information.
Each of these scenarios underscores a simple truth: the best way to protect data is not to store it unnecessarily.
