A historical home in Tennessee’s Williamson County is at risk of demolition after alleged misuse of HOA funds by a property management company that is now under investigation.
The home was built in 1899 by the great-grandfather of Brentwood, TN, resident Jenny Calvin. She spent her childhood celebrating milestones and holidays within the home, she told Nashville’s CBS affiliate WTVF.

IT & DATA SECURITY (MITIGATING THE “INSIDER THREAT”)

- Encryption at Rest: Ensure that sensitive files (like your customer ID numbers or payroll spreadsheets) are encrypted so that if a staff member copies them to a USB, they cannot be read.
