One of the most important jobs in a data processing organization, other than the actual processing of data, is securing the information from the time the original data is entered until the end of the process. Businesses trust data processing companies with valuable business information from customer information lists to sensitive business documents so being a trustworthy processing center is critical. In order to ensure the safety and security of client’s information, data processing companies must have top-notch security in place from the locks on the door to the people they hire. One way to develop a strong security policy is to hire a security analyst who is in charge of overseeing every aspect of the company’s security. The security analyst will help design, implement, and update security policies and procedures, as well as ensure that these policies and procedures are being followed.
