Challenges
With data spread across AWS, M365, Snowflake, and Salesforce, this manufacturer lacked a single source of truth and clear access controls. Manual reviews took too long to manage risks like over-permissioned access to PII and credentials or to ensure compliance with global frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA.
Solution
The team connected their cloud and SaaS environments to Cyera using APIs. They mapped and classified data automatically, using their own taxonomy. Sensitive records surfaced quickly, and they could automate labeling with Microsoft Purview. Access issues across hundreds of datastores became visible and could be addressed at scale.
Results
- Identified 547.9 billion sensitive records with 98.5% scan coverage across the global estate
- Remediated 249 million records and more than 70% of high-severity data risks in M365
- Eliminated over 2,000 unused datastores and removed excessive organization-wide permissions within hours of deployment.
