Data Discovery Solutions | HANDD

Deployments

A Government charity organisation wanted to classify their data and understand where that classified data was stored and who had access to it.

HANDD deployed Data Classification and Data Governance to work in tandem. By classifying their data the organisation was able to apply sensitivity whilst a Data Governance solution meant that using metadata tags they could see who was accessing sensitive content and where it was stored.

A Government Charity

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.

Global Insurance Organisation

Modern organisations produce and hold vast amounts of data. This data comprises different types of information, exists in different formats and resides in numerous locations. To maintain the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of this data, organisations must be able to accurately find the data in the first place.

Data Discovery

The Solution

Data Discovery is the first step in protecting information, knowing what data is, where data is, as well as information such as when it is accessed, updated, modified, deleted, duplicated & shared is invaluable when it comes to protecting it.

Through knowing this information an organisation can start to build the cornerstones of effective Data Security and Governance policy.

Having a solution in place which highlights PII, PCI, Intellectual Property and other sensitive information against an ever-increasing rate of creation is imperative to delivering a solid data security posture.
