When Technologies Collide – A Unique Approach to Operationalizing Data Privacy
Summary
The four other markets of cloud access security broker (CASB), data-centric audit and protection (DCAP), data loss prevention (DLP) and file analysis (FA) bring the specific technologies to create cohesion between data security control and privacy.” Gartner suggests “Gaps in compliance with various regulations and standards can be assessed based on an underlying framework, as can be found in various IRM solutions.” The Gartner graphic from the report shows the framework: Establish, Maintain and Evolve (see Figure 2 below). We believe this graphic shows that only by focusing on these discrete phases and the underlying components is it possible to determine which elements of the five interrelated technologies (Integrated Risk Management/IRM, Records Management/RM, Data-centric Audit & Protection/DCAP, Cloud Access Security Broker/CASB, Data Loss Prevention/DLP and File Analysis/FA) make the most sense for your privacy program. Active Navigation believes that FA solutions play a particularly critical role in the creation of a technology-driven privacy program, given its importance in the Establish phase, specifically in the initial steps of Discovery and Classification. This capability is one that trips up many ancillary technologies like eDiscovery or DLP, which aren’t built to operate at this massive scale According to Gartner: “In general, FA tools require little customization.” Out-of-the-box, Discovery Center has pre-built workflows, rule sets and taxonomies that help customers perform common tasks such as finding ROT (Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial) data, as well as identifying sensitive/personal information. Within a week, a standard POC can be completed and the enterprise can harness the resulting metrics to drive implementation timelines and map to success criteria.
