Data Classification for the Manufacturing and Automotive Industry
The automotive industry is seeing rapid change. Huge sums of money are being invested to develop faster, more environmentally friendly and more luxurious options for today’s travellers. Meanwhile, the manufacturing industry, on the cusp of a whole new technological era, is creating new ideas, blueprints and designs, and constantly looking for the next thing.
All this investment can make the automotive and manufacturing industry a target for data theft and cyber crime. Especially considering the high volume production runs, a little disruption can cause a lot of damage. Recent reports state a 32% increase in cyber security incidents within the automotive industry.
It’s essential for businesses in these industries to recognise the value of their data and to ensure it’s handled in a way that is compliant with the continually changing regulations.
Data Classification is the very first step on this journey, and one that, if not implemented properly, could see all other protective measures rendered ineffective or costing more than they need to. HANDD have over ten years’ experience deploying Data Classification programmes within the manufacturing industry, and their team of dedicated specialists can help you with each stage of the roll out of your Data Classification programme.
Find out how HANDD’s team of specialists can support you at any or every stage in implementing data classification in your organisation. Call +44 (0)8456 434 063 today.
Seven Reasons to Classify Your Data

Challenge: Controlling data with vast user access
With over 4000 end users, an Insurance industry client came to HANDD for help. They needed to ensure policy details couldn’t be sent to unauthorised external parties by email. Using data classification, we identified and classified new documents containing policy numbers. Then we integrated the classification platform with the client’s Symantec DLP solution, enabling DLP to work more efficiently to ensure sensitive content only travels to cleared recipients.
Challenge: Managing compliance with large volumes of legacy data
With billions of records to sift through and strict compliance mandates, a global bank needed to get control over their legacy data. First, using a discovery tool HANDD helped them identify their sensitive data and discover where it was stored. Then, we labelled their data using Data Classification. This enabled them to apply protective measures efficiently to their most sensitive files for the first time.
Challenge: Ad-hoc application of protective measures
Staff typing SECURE into email subject lines to trigger downstream protection of sensitive data left plenty of scope for error. At this leading financial services organisation classification was inconsistent and ad-hoc. Security of delivery was unreliable. They contacted HANDD for help improving their classification processes. We implemented a Data Classification solution that would automatically classify emails. Integrating with a message gateway it prevents data falling into the wrong hands.
