We address the challenges posed by unstructured data and data sprawl by following a proven process to assess your needs and design a Data Security Governance Program tailored to your organization’s specific requirements. This program ensures proper data management, protection, and compliance while minimizing risks associated with disorganized and uncontrolled data.
Our data security governance services assist your organization in developing a comprehensive, customized program to mitigate risks such as unauthorized access, data exfiltration, reputational damage, and non-compliance with legal, regulatory, and organizational policies. We work with you to design a robust framework that ensures data protection and regulatory adherence while aligning with your business objectives.
Our Data Security Governance Program utilizes the latest technologies and advancements in data governance to perform comprehensive data discovery within your environment. We then provide tailored recommendations to help you build a robust data governance program. This includes leveraging:
For organizations in the early stages of securing sensitive data, we offer Data Identification workshops designed to identify various sensitive data types within your environment. This includes often-overlooked data such as trade secrets, intellectual property, and sensitive business communications. Our process results in the creation of a comprehensive Sensitive Data Catalog, helping ensure that your critical assets are properly protected from potential threats.
For organizations with existing Data Security Governance or Data Protection programs, we conduct thorough assessments to identify areas of policy non-compliance, gaps in legal, regulatory, contractual, and business data protection requirements, and evaluate program maturity. Using the Data Security Maturity Model by the C3 Working Group, we provide recommendations for the necessary data governance solutions to strengthen and align your program with industry best practices.
Leveraging a proven data governance framework, we collaborate with your organization’s key stakeholders to design a program strategy that aligns with relevant requirements, such as NIST CSF. This strategy ensures ongoing sensitive data discovery, automated classification and labeling, the application of necessary data protections (e.g., encryption), restrictions on where sensitive data can be stored and transmitted, and enforcement of data retention policies.
Our data governance consulting services assist in identifying sensitive data within an M&A target or recent acquisition, focusing on data locations, amounts, and access rights. We then conduct penetration testing on the storage repositories where this sensitive data resides to assess the risk of potential data compromise.
