Results achieved from Classify360’s content-level data classification:
Reduced Data Footprint & Attack Surface
Historical data cleanup, preserving only data required by business or regulatory demands, resulted in the deletion of 400+ million operational files and archiving of over 1 billion files, reducing the Client’s data footprint by 17% – resulting in less risk and $2million in storage savings.
Maintained Security & Compliance with Valuable Data
1.13B retained records were assigned a tag per class for automated action workflows per company policy. Any unsecured sensitive data was moved to proper storage and sensitivity tags were able to be leveraged by DLP and other security solutions.
Achieved Ongoing Governance & Compliance
Ongoing retention policies with automated workflows ensure that compliance is maintained with legacy and new data and that data is kept in a clean state. Cross-department collaboration and data management allows for true governance across the organization.
THE CLIENT:
A subsidiary of a large national health insurance provider within the United States suffered a substantial data security event exposing members’ personal data and yielding significant HIPAA violation fines. Client’s production data footprint was approximately 4PBs across structured and unstructured environments with data stakeholders existing across the legal, data security, and data governance departments. These disparate teams struggled to manage the organization’s substantial data as a collaborative unit
Required to take corrective action through the implementation of a data analysis and risk management plan, the Client deployed Congruity360’s Classify360 solution to discover, understand, and protect their stored data while remaining HIPAA-compliant.
THE VALUE:
By reducing the overall data footprint, preserving only data required by regulatory or business demands, applying granular retention policies to the various types and quantity of data, and having a well-defined and documented information governance process, Client was able to meet various regulatory and business compliance requirements.
Data could be identified quickly and confidently, which reduced resources, operational costs, and potential fines in the event of a regulatory issue. Having data identified and classified allowed Client to reduce the reactive time-consuming approach to a more proactive approach, saving time and money.
