Compliance
Organisations store data everywhere but most of them find it difficult, laborious and time consuming to locate and understand their data. They struggle to identify who is accessing it, and fail to manage and secure it properly. All of these challenges increase the risk that your most valuable assets will be lost or stolen, or that you’re not complying with industry and government regulations. We can help you master your data to meet compliance rules, adhere to privacy standards and protect your crown jewels.
Data is everywhere
For years, businesses have reported that the volume of data they store has outstripped their knowledge of what it’s all used for. Many can no longer manage it properly. While their employees need to access, work with, update and share data on a daily basis to do their jobs, companies are worried about deleting any data they might need at a later date. At the same time, strict regulations force them to destroy specific personal data after a fixed period of time.
Data is one of any organisation’s most valuable assets. But the more information they keep, the greater the risk of data loss, theft and exfiltration, either by accident, or by disgruntled employees who perhaps want to take valuable information with them to their next job, or just want to pass data on to make extra money. Alongside these risks, cyber threats have increased in frequency and become more sophisticated. So it’s now more important than ever to get to grips with your data and manage and protect it throughout its life cycle.
Protecting your crown jewels
We can help you make sure that your data is secure and compliant while reducing your data management costs. Our comprehensive compliance service enables you to finally take control of all your data wherever it resides and minimise the risks of data loss or incurring fines from regulators.
Our approach is to put people, policies and culture first. We work alongside your teams to help you adopt a data security and compliance mindset. Once we have the foundations in place, we overlay the latest Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management, to scan, identify and label every type of structured and unstructured data, whether it’s stored in apps, devices, databases, on-premises or in the cloud.
Our experts can apply business logic to put appropriate rules in place around data use in your organisation. This will allow or restrict access to the right roles as and when necessary and ensure your employees can’t accidentally misuse information or send it externally to other parties. This will help you comply with regulations and improve your security posture. By monitoring users’ activity and behaviour – what we call contextual user insights – we can also help you gain a deeper understanding of your employees’ use of data. By labelling individuals anonymously to respect privacy standards, we can apply a risk score to their activities and triage useful information to you to build a picture of data use across your whole organisation.
