Privacy, Security, DHS and YOU!
The way we do business nationwide is changing and there is an increased focus on protecting information. DHS has state and federal regulations regarding both privacy & security.
We are obligated to protect personal and confidential information of clients and employees
Our clients and employees expect the department to protect confidential information - - just as you expect your information to be protected by financial institutions, health care providers and others.
That makes us responsible to protect confidential information from unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication/modification, loss, misuse or theft - - whether it be accidental or intentional.
Privacy is a right that people have; Security is the protection of that right.
