Proven Strategies for Data Discovery

Our Data Security Governance Program strategies leverage new data security technologies and developments in the data governance field to conduct data discovery in your environment and provide tailored recommendations for data governance solutions to build a program that works for you, including:

• Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) systems 
• Data protection technologies like data encryption, data-masking, and data sanitization 
• Data restriction technologies like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) systems Secure data disposal and crypto-shredding technologies
• Data exfiltration monitoring and Behavioral Anomaly (BA) tools

Sensitive Data Cataloging

For organizations just getting started in the process of protecting data from potential threats, we offer Data Identification workshops to identify sensitive data types in your environment, including often overlooked data types such as trade secrets, intellectual property, and sensitive business communications; allowing us to create a Sensitive Data Catalog.

Data Security Governance Program Assessment

For organizations with existing Data Security Governance or Data Protection programs, we assess your program to identify policy non-compliance, gaps in data protection requirements (legal/regulatory/contractual/business), and program maturity levels (using the Data Security Maturity Model by the C3 Working Group) before recommending the necessary data governance solutions.

Data Security Governance Program Strategy Development

We use a proven data governance framework and work with your organization’s key stakeholders to design a program strategy aligned with relevant requirements (e.g. NIST CSF) to deliver ongoing sensitive data discovery, automated classification and labeling, the application of required sensitive data protections (e.g., encryption), restrictions on where sensitive data can be stored and sent, and data retention policy enforcement.

Merger and Acquisition Data Identification

Our data governance consulting services help you identify sensitive data within an M&A target or recent acquisition (including locations, amounts, and access rights) and then perform penetration testing on the storage repositories where that sensitive data exists to determine the risk of data compromise.
