Deployments

A Global Media Company needed to leverage Data Governance products to discover who was accessing data, where and when.

We deployed a solution that attached metatags to files so administrators could scan network repositories and discover the location of sensitive information, and see how it was being handled.

A Global Bank wanted to raise user awareness of file sensitivity and be able to audit activity on sensitive data.

We deployed a new technology to give our client the capability they required. We also ran a series of internal events to raise user-awareness and collate feedback on the solution.

A Wealth Management Fund needed customer x-headers inserted into email properties so that their existing secure email solution could automatically intercept the message and deliver the content securely.

We implemented a Data Classification solution that enabled each confidential email to be stamped with a custom tag, to be scanned by a secure email system so that messages were encrypted before delivery to third parties when necessary.

According to IBM, 2.5 Quintillion Bytes of digital information is alleged created each and every single day.

This information is stored in multiple different locations inside and outside of an organisation it is then accessed by different people, updated, modified, deleted, duplicated and shared. This rate of creation is only ever going to increase. As a Security Operative, the task of protecting things like PII, PCI, Intellectual Property and other sensitive information is an almost impossible task.. Finding what’s worth investment for protecting is the first step to a healthier security posture. A Data Discovery solution can automate this lengthy task freeing up IT and security staff to spend their time on what their paid for: keeping it secure. Discovery Solutions also ensure this doesn’t become a snapshot either, delivering scheduled scanning and a proactive approach to finding where information resides and who has access to it.

Data Discovery
Introduction

Visibility
With visibility of important information to your organisation it becomes easier to ringfence and implement appropriate security measures to stop breaches.

Insider Threat
Large silos of information exist across the corporate landscape, finding these can help identify who has access and perhaps should or should not have access to them. This aids in combatting compromised or rogue personnel inside your network.

Compliance
Help achieve GDPR compliance by understanding where PII is to help safeguard it and remove it in the event of a SAR.

Retention
Identifying which information is regularly accessed and which isn’t can help drive retention technologies and policies. This can aid technology refresh projects and also help avoid duplication of information.

Data Discovery
Deployment Example

A global insurance organisation ran a GDPR driven Data Discovery and Governance project. They wanted to gain visibility of their unstructured and stale data. One particular reason for this was to help them reduce the costs of unnecessary storage space, to then archive or delete the data correctly. The Data Discovery product deployed helped with the later challenge as well as remediating risks from group level access ensuring that only the employees needing to access certain data would have access to that group/data.
