The Problem
Over the last several years many compliance regulations have sprung up globally. Organizations doing business in regions covered by these mandates have been forced to change their business practices in order to remain compliant. These regulations require organizations to have visibility into what data they possess, and where it is located. This remains a challenge for many organizations who don’t yet have solutions in place to understand where their data lives and what it contains. Ultimately, many organizations aren’t sure where to start, and are worried that these solutions will affect workflow productivity. However, not complying with these mandates could expose organizations to significant risks – fines, negative PR, drops in stock prices, and more. All compelling reasons to find a solution that works, especially considering that the list of regulatory compliance mandates globally is growing quickly.
The Solution
Organizations need a solution that works to ensure they are compliant with applicable regulatory mandates, while also allowing their business to run optimally. An ideal solution should accurately identify sensitive data in their systems, mitigate leakage of that data, and be able to reduce user friction throughout this process. Such a solution should be available to any organization, from those who are only beginning to understand the need for data privacy, to those who already have an established security ecosystem in place. As the data security environment is evolving quickly, a data protection solution should also be scalable and technology agnostic, enabling organizations to use best of breed solutions in their data protection ecosystem.
