Data Security

Data security is a practice associations follow to protect digital information from unauthorized access, corruption, or theft. Every association is different, but many use a combination of measures to protect their data, including encryption, firewalls, access controls, and authentication methods. Working with a professional IT provider or fully managed voting system is best to ensure you’re following the most up-to-date data security practices. It’s also best to regularly update your election software, audit IT security, and train members and election officials on data security best practices.
