If your business is like most, you probably have a marketing portal—a system that allows you to store, manage, organize, share and track massive amounts of sensitive company data and content.  This could include everything from documentation and collateral to videos, photos, logos, proprietary software, and other tangible assets that internal teams as well as external partners can access, download and distribute.  Since partners are sometimes required to purchase materials, the system also processes and stores credit card information.

That’s a lot of sensitive information.  And it begs the question: just how secure is your marketing portal?

Online businesses must assign users to specific groups or roles that determine what resources they can access in order to maintain some semblance of order.
