HIPAA has several requirements, in not just how data is stored, but also the physical protection of the workstation that have access to that data, amongst other things. It is not uncommon for schools, hospitals, and healthcare providers to store HIPAA-HITECH regulated customer information in OneDrive. Since OneDrive is a convenient cloud based storage system for your work-related files, organizations across different industries store and handle data that is highly regulated by a myriad of national and industry regulations. The average company stores 6,097 files with “salary” in the file name in file sharing services, and 1,156 files with “password” in the file name. And of shared files, 12.9% are accessible by everyone in the company, which can be risky for certain types of data. It’s not uncommon for employees to upload sensitive data to cloud-based file sharing services without fully understanding the risk they are putting the organization in.īased on anonymized usage data of over 600 enterprises using the McAfee (formerly Skyhigh Networks) CASB, our research has found that 15.8% of files in the cloud contain sensitive data while 9.2% of documents in file sharing services shared externally contain sensitive data. Despite the robust security features that are built into OneDrive, high-risk user behavior can still put sensitive data at risk. Companies exploring OneDrive can find themselves facing a number of data security, compliance, and governance questions. As organizations adopt Office 365, they often start with Exchange Online and discover that Microsoft bundles OneDrive for free.
