Data Protection

 

Overview

Businesses face a continuous challenge in protecting sensitive information with the advent of new technology (like social media, mobile and cloud technologies that make it simpler to leak data), threats (like APT and insiders) and regulation (like privacy regulation). The solution is to deploy a comprehensive data protection framework across the information lifecycle. Implementing a holistic framework that includes data classification, data flow analysis and tools like data loss prevention (DLP), information rights management (IRM) is the key to effective data protection.

 

Why Aujas?

We help organizations identify and protect confidential information through building a governance framework, data protection strategy and implementation, as well as comprehensive analysis of data flow within and between organizational processes. This data flow analysis translates into effective DLP policies while the governance framework and strategy translates into continuous data protection for the organization. Aujas has helped several enterprises effectively implement data protection frameworks to ensure regulatory compliance, prevent the significant impact to business and reputation that is possible as a result of data loss.

 

Services we offer

Strategy and Design

During this phase, we assess your data protection needs and develop effective data classification strategy and policy. We analyze your critical data, who owns it, who creates it, how it is used, how is shared etc. Based on an assessment of risks, the data protection framework is designed.

 

Control and Integration

We help you deploy the appropriate security and data protection technologies such as data leakage prevention (DLP), information / digital rights management (IRM) and encryption tools. We provide project management and technical implementation skills to effective implementation as per the design criteria.

 

Sustenance and Optimization

We help fine tune and optimize the technology implementation to ensure reduction in false positives, KPI reporting and implementing a strong incident management and consequence management framework for continuous vigilance. And that is key to building a culture of data protection within the organization.

 

Success Stories

Aujas provides Data Flow Analysis and DLP Performance Improvement for a Leading Financial Conglomerate

The client had implemented a DLP solution which was not effective because they could not identify the sensitive documents; fingerprint them which lead to a large number of DLP incidents. Aujas provided data flow analysis across the business processes to identify the sensitive data and its flow within the processes, across departments and with third parties. This helped the client improve the effectiveness of the DLP solution and protect their sensitive data.

 

Aujas provides Managed Data Protection Services for a Leading Asian Telecom Company

The client had implemented a leading DLP solution to protect sensitive data and to deter people from leaking sensitive data.  But lack of a strong incident management process hampered the effectiveness of the project. Aujas implemented a well defined incident management process which helped the client to detect, analyze, escalate and close incidents to ensure deterrence and compliance. The client was able to reduce the number of false positives, and our incident and consequence management ensured deterrence and discipline in handling of sensitive data.
