Data ownership and customer data security liability

0

Definition

78% of enterprises prioritize full control over their data to reduce breach exposure and comply with regulations. When custom development firms use third-party hosting, cloud platforms, or data processing services, they create liability exposure for customer data. Firms must implement strong data governance, encryption, access controls, and audit trails. Breaches can result in regulatory fines (customer's responsibility but may impact developer relationship), lawsuits, and reputation damage. For custom shops handling sensitive customer data (healthcare, finance, personal information), this creates significant liability risk. Customers increasingly demand data residency, on-premise hosting, or dedicated infrastructure, increasing hosting and management costs.
