One of the key elements in reducing the attack surface of an IT enterprise is to determine the location and sensitive nature of all data, especially privacy data which if compromised, could result in litigation, financial loss, or customer confidence loss. Additionally, this information is part of the foundation of when drafting a Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity plan.
