| Mar 27, 2018 at 11:32 | comment | added | Thomas Carlisle | It would be worth considering to implement a data loss prevention (DLP) solution, and put a focus on ways off auditing access to the most valuable pieces of intellectual property. No, I am not a sales person and I don't work for any company that offers DLP solutions. | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 9:28 | comment | added | Voo | @Todd So you think that if the finance department did not have to report to anyone what exactly they were doing, did not follow established practices and then lost a substantial amount of money in some weird transaction or get fined, nobody would be worried about that either? Seems unlikely. If you're running a business you don't want to have a risk that you can't evaluate, independent which area. The trick is to give management the confidence that you have emergency procedures and follow well established standards to minimize that risk. | |

| Mar 26, 2018 at 20:13 | comment | added | Juan Carlos Oropeza | What mean too much power? The problem is because you lost the data once and they don't want to repeat or because they fear about their privacy? | |

Incorporate OP's comment to make question more appropriate.

| Mar 26, 2018 at 19:50 | comment | added | roborooted | I guess what I am looking for is ways to improve my department to make sure I am transparent as possible. To ensure people that I'm just not spending my day looking at their files or whatever. | |

| Mar 26, 2018 at 19:26 | comment | added | Bernhard Barker | Do you think you're doing enough and you just want to tell them to go away and stop bugging you (politely) or do you want advice on how to actually improve your department? Either way, I'm not sure we can really be of much help without knowing why they think you have too much power (you only reporting the the CFO is not a valid reason in itself), or knowing the specifics of your company to be able to give advice to on what to do (which isn't really an appropriate question for this site one way or the other). | |
