The Hidden Security Risks of Unstructured Data in File Shares
Most organisations have a data problem they rarely see clearly. It is not always inside databases, CRMs, finance systems, or other structured platforms. More often, it is hidden in shared drives, old project folders, exported spreadsheets, PDFs, email attachments, archived documents, and duplicate files saved across departments. This is unstructured data. It is easy to create, easy to copy, and difficult to control. Over time, it can become one of the biggest blind spots in an organisation's cybersecurity and compliance strategy.
