When working with sensitive data like material non-public information (MNPI), you must be able to store this information in the most secure manner possible. Private deals such as mergers, acquisitions, and loans can expose unauthorized individuals within a company to sensitive information. This can happen if you do not take proper precautions. Dealmakers need to reassure clients at financial institutions, including big companies and small banks, that their private information is secure. They also need to ensure that the firm will actively monitor for any conflicts of interest.
