Data Privacy Week is held annually from January 26-30, and is a global initiative to raise awareness of the importance of safeguarding personal information online. It empowers individuals to take control over their online privacy, and at Okta, privacy isn’t just a policy- it’s how we build trust. 

Okta launched a company-wide initiative to reinforce data respect and security. Our commitment extends directly to the Okta Support Center and Okta Community, where we prioritize your privacy while providing the support you need to secure your own organizations.

The Importance of Data Privacy

Data Privacy Week is the perfect time to audit your digital footprint and refine your security posture. As an Okta admin or community user, you are on the front lines of identity protection. To help you stay secure, consider these best practices:

Optimize Your MFA: Audit your Okta tenant to ensure you’re utilizing the strongest authentication factors available (like Okta FastPass) to move beyond weak, phishable methods.

Stay Informed via Product Docs: Regularly review Product Documentation and Release Notes. Staying up-to-date on new privacy features ensures you’re leveraging the full power of Okta’s Identity Cloud.

Practice Data Minimization: Review your user profiles and attributes. Ensure you are only collecting and storing the data necessary for your business processes.

Join the Conversation

Privacy is a team sport. We encourage you to join the Okta Community discussion groups, ask questions, share tips in the forum, and learn how other admins are handling data sovereignty and user privacy.

Come be a part of creating a more secure digital future this Data Privacy Week!
