Cybersecurity and the Data Lifecycle

Release Date: 02/10/2025

The data lifecycle refers to the comprehensive process that data undergoes, from its creation to its eventual disposal. Understanding and securing each phase of this lifecycle is essential for protecting data's confidentiality, integrity, and availability (also known as the CIA Triad).

Securing the data lifecycle is an ongoing challenge for most organizations. To make matters worse, data is becoming increasingly valuable and prone to exploitation. Cybersecurity efforts must align with the stages of the data lifecycle to safeguard sensitive information against evolving threats.

This publication outlines the unique security challenges and practical best practices for securing your organization's data at every stage. By proactively addressing each stage of the lifecycle, organizations can ensure robust data protection.

Key Takeaways:
  • Core data security principles: data confidentiality, data integrity, and data availability
  • Phases of the data lifecycle 
  • How each lifecycle phase maps to various compliance requirements
  • Recommendations for strengthening data security, such as implementing Data Loss Prevention tools
  • Key challenges and solutions for each phase of the lifecycle
