As the onsite consultant for our clients here at Veeam Software, you may be privy to confidential information or data. How can we ensure that you will hold client data security in the highest confidence?
The consulting world at Veeam Software will put your in a position to have access to client databases, applications and directories that could potentially contain sensitive data. Consultants have a responsibility to their clients to maintain that privacy. Be sure that your interviewer understands that you adhere to that responsibility by talking about past experiences where you have been exposed to and kept sensitive data confidential. It is important to talk about your own personal morals and values in your answer to this question.
"Having worked as a consultant for a large healthcare medical record software organization, I had access to thousands of medical records with each new client that we brought aboard. While often required to sign confidentiality and HIPAA agreements with each client, my own values would never allow me to compromise the secure data of a patient. If hired for this role, I would hold the confidential data with your clients in the highest regard and wouldn't hesitate to take all measures possible to ensure that data is secure."

In all my previous roles and in my current role I was always confronted to have access to sensitive information from my partners /Distributors / Customers and even if we have already signed NDAs all my professional and personal relationships are built on trust and I value the trust given to me by them. I always operate with my own values and will never allow compromising the sensitive data that I am having access to. So if one day I will have the opportunity to work with Veeam Software I will certainly operate with the same Values and Trust.
