Data protection and privacy

Data protection and privacy should not stop with contractual terms and conditions. Cisco is focused on continually increasing data transparency, accuracy, accessibility, and security. To start, we provide customers with data maps that illustrate what we have, what we’re doing with it, where it is, where it flows, and who has access to it.

elements. Field sales can use these resources to enable
