Project AssistanceClassification of Cloud data
Hybrid cloud adoption grew 300% last year (McAfee). As more businesses are switching to Cloud-based storage, data migration specialists at HANDD are seeing an increase in enquiries around Data Classification.
The truth of the matter is, once you understand the data you have, you can make your migration more secure and much easier.
Staged Cloud migration
With the use of Data Classification, your Cloud migration can be staged so that your sensitive data can be separated from the bulk of your data and protected and stored appropriately first of all, with your less sensitive data migrating to the Cloud after.
Protection in the Cloud
Platforms such as Office 365 Online, Box, and SharePoint can be integrated with your Data Classification and DLP solutions to ensure that your data storage policies are adhered to for each and every file. By automatically checking classifications, users can be alerted when a file is sent for storage in an incorrect destination, empowering you to allocate more secure server-based storage for those sensitive documents.

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.
