Data is a valuable asset for any organization. It can bring immense benefits to you; on the other hand, it can cause unimaginable harm if it falls into the wrong hands. It’s no wonder you might feel concerned about the security of storing such data on the cloud. In this article, we’ll explain why Google Drive is a safe tool for storing your valuable information.
Encryption – Your Documents Are Encrypted
Encryption is like locking your information to prevent anyone from easily accessing it. Google does the same by applying two layers of encryption. The first layer protects your documents while they are stored in data centers. If someone were to break into the building and steal data, they would only retrieve unreadable information because it’s encrypted with AES-128. In the second layer, during the transmission of your file, even if a skilled hacker intercepts your data, they still won’t be able to view it, as it’s encrypted with TLS-256 (Transport Layer Security). No matter where your files are, only you can access and read them.
Stability – Data Centers Located Worldwide
Google is renowned for its stable systems, partly due to its globally distributed data centers. The data centers closest to Thailand are located in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Data loss is extremely unlikely because Google distributes your data across multiple locations. This means that if one data center is compromised, your data remains safe as it’s spread across various locations worldwide. Simply put, you don’t need to spend extra money renting multiple servers to prevent data loss—Google has already done this for you. Plus, it spares you the hassle of managing IT complexities.
Certified with ISO 27001 Standard
Google Drive is certified with ISO 27001 by the British Standards Institution. ISO 27001 is a standard for information security management, ensuring the security and safety of your data.
Level Access – Control Access Permissions
Certain information may not be something you want the entire company or department to see; you may want only specific individuals or groups to access it confidentially. In Google Drive, you can easily restrict access to those files with just a few clicks and then share the link with only the relevant people.
