Your Digital User Experience is Great. But Could it Cost You Millions? 

Rate this post

The shift online, with all of its benefits to businesses and consumers, also introduces serious risks to your business. As someone involved in the business side of digital, you need to understand these risks. The first comes in the form of data leakage – which could put you at risk of millions in fines for non-compliance with data privacy standards like GDPR and PCI DSS. This leakage occurs when the partners that you plug into your website overreach and capture data that is governed by data privacy compliance requirements. The logic behind this may be solid – track the user’s interests, offer customized browsing workflows, suggest additional products, etc. But even if the intent of the activity is pure, you have the responsibility to protect this data, its usage and how it is shared – so you have a responsibility to know and control the actions of these partners. The second comes in the form of data theft. Your online properties are an extremely attractive attack surface for cybercriminals who want to steal sensitive information from your clients. 

The web browser front-end not only delivers a brand experience to users but also actively harvests all sorts of sensitive information from visitors – sometimes this is done by your 3rd party partners, sometimes it is done by cyber scum. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting client-side applications to steal credentials, financial transactions, payment card data, healthcare data, and other personally identifiable information (PII).
