Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

  • Explain the benefits of Quip Shield.
  • Understand if your company can benefit from Quip Shield.

We get it, security can be painful. Data breaches represent the most financial and reputation risk for any business, so it’s important to have strong security and controls in place to protect your data. If your company handles sensitive or confidential information, it can be especially costly and even illegal to miss just one small compliance regulation. What if you can prevent all that headache?

Not only do you have to protect against malicious external attacks, but you also have to mitigate internal risks. For example, employees can unknowingly expose the organization as easily as sharing their login credentials with the wrong person. You might manage huge amounts of sensitive data and intellectual property every day, but without proper policies and enforcement measures in place, you may never know what’s at risk, and that can be scary.

Now, queue the hero-like music: Da da da daaaa! No fear, Quip is here! Quip Shield is meant to...

Sounds pretty good, right? Who doesn’t love enhanced reporting and security? Only one question remains.

Should My Company Invest in Quip Shield?

There are many factors to consider before deciding if you should consider Quip Shield. It can only be implemented after careful thought, including an analysis of the kinds of threats your organization should protect against, and which security controls can best help you protect against those threats.
