Digitalization has changed the perspective for almost all industries across the globe, especially after a pandemic that forced people to adapt to a digital workspace connected through the internet. But along with the positives of digitalization, the global population has also been exposed to its dark sides, such as data theft, loose protection of IP rights, and invasion of online privacy. In today's modern world, data has become the new currency that has attracted many eyes from across the globe. Companies use user data to streamline their services and to further improve the customer experience with their products and services. But due to improper data handling and a lack of dedicated data security methods, many companies get raided by cyber attackers, and their users' data falls into the hands of attackers. Many leading names in the market have fallen victim to such attacks.
Due to the growing frequency of such events, the European Union adopted the GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation, in 2016, which is also considered the EU's greatest achievement. The EU introduced GDPR as a replacement for the Data Protection Directive, which was active since 1995 when the internet was still new. GDPR was introduced with one primary intention: to protect internet users in countries that are part of the European Union. GDPR empowered the citizens under the EU to have personal freedom and control over their fundamental rights on the internet. GDPR restricts the uncontrolled use of data for any personal and organizational gain without the consent of its owner. The regulation also applies to companies operating in the region. Similar to GDPR, the US also saw an introduction of data protection laws in New York and California. New York's 23 NYCRR 500 and California's CCPA laws have introduced data protection laws in respective states.
While outsourcing internal tasks, it is always crucial to choose a partner that values your privacy and practices data protection measures to ensure the appropriate processing of data.
At VM Insights, we practice three levels of privacy to ensure that your data is protected at all costs. Your trust in us is one of our primary objectives, as it allows us to fully focus on servicing you.

Besides certification and physical security measures, we also employed data protection policies for our employees who handle your data as part of VM Insights' workflow. Employee policies are enforced in place to rule out the possibility of internal data leakage. Our employees only use devices that are provided by us and equipped with a secure VPN for an extra layer of security.
