October is Cyber Security month, which should have you thinking about these core themes in a slightly different way.
We have talked a lot about the importance of knowing what you have and where it lives - this is called "Coverage".
If you do not know what content you have, where it is stored, and who has access to it, it is not just an inconvenience...
Lack of Coverage is putting your organization at risk.
The good news? That same challenge is your opportunity to become your organization's hero, and today's post will show you how.

When You Know What You Have, You Become the Hero
Every organization faces three constant pressures: money, time, and reputation.
Each department or line of business may prioritize them differently, but if you can save even one while still delivering a high-quality service, you become the hero.
Here's How to Do It
When you truly understand your Coverage, including what you have, where it lives, and how it’s being used, these savings start to flow naturally:
- Cybersecurity: Reduce your data footprint and protect sensitive information by knowing exactly what’s out there - and taking action on what is out of Coverage.
- Governance: Cut storage costs and prove you’re managing data responsibly aligned with policy and laws.
- Productivity: Give your teams confidence that the information they need is accurate, secure, and can be found instantly.
When you have that level of Coverage, you can answer critical questions with certainty, like:
How would you respond if a breach impacted your cloud storage, file shares, or on-prem systems?
That knowledge isn’t just compliance. It’s power.
There is incredible value in moving from uncertainty to clarity in Coverage.
When you know what you have and can find what you need, you’re enabling smarter decisions, faster work, and stronger trust across your organization.
You're reducing risk and becoming a hero!
At Shinydocs, we help organizations make that journey to turn content chaos into clarity.
You are the hero. We can be the guide.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing more on how to use this approach to become the hero you're meant to be.
