Challenges
A global technology company faced pressure to innovate quickly while meeting regulatory demands. Their existing DLP tools could not see deeply into their data, so the team relied on broad, restrictive policies that slowed the business. Without accurate, scalable classification, they remained reactive and could not safely enforce controls like data retention or destruction.
Solution
The company partnered with Cyera to move toward a proactive data governance model. Cyera’s AI-driven scanning instantly validated months of manual mapping and acted as a verification layer to highlight hidden risks. This accuracy allowed the security team to shift from rigid, location-based rules to context-aware policies, giving them the confidence needed to manage their global data estate without slowing innovation.
Results
With better insight into their sensitive data, the team shifted from reacting to issues to anticipating them. They could support new projects without slowing things down, set up safer data retention and destruction, and run audits before problems surfaced. All of this happened with a small team and less manual effort.
