Advised a roadmap for a sanctioned and secure data sharing platform with embedded data protection for secure data sharing.
The client was facing challenges in protecting their Intellectual Property (IP) for upcoming projects in the form of design and specification documents and other automotive marketing artefacts that were created. Their requirement was to securely share these artefacts only with limited internal departments and a list of approved third-party vendors.
Key Challenges
- Gap in the existing business processes and technologies causing IP (Intellectual Property) data leakage
- Usage of unsanctioned data sharing platforms leading to increased risk
- Lack of robust security controls for sanctioned data sharing platforms leading to lack of data governance across enterprise
The Solution
Data sharing made safe and easy
- Accessed the existing data flow and lifecycle of IP data and mapped it with current security controls
- Identified security gaps within technology and business processes and mapped it with industry security best practices
- Recommended a single sanctioned data sharing platform with data classification embedded
- Suggested security architecture leveraging existing technology stack without additional investment
Benefits
An assured and reliable data security approach
Enhanced visibility of IP data flow within the organization
Reduced the risk of data leakage by decommissioning unsanctioned data sharing platforms post data flow analysis
Reduced capex by recommending a solution using existing tools
