Business Challenge
- Securing PII: Protecting the personal information of its large number of employees, consultants, and subcontractors
- Ensuring compliance: Ensure robust security frameworks and controls, including reporting to meet compliance requirements.
- Management of highly dispersed data: Data was spread across multiple databases, on-prem as well as cloud, including production databases such MongoDB and SQL and SAP HANA, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud (GCP). There was no centralized control and management of sensitive data.
- Secure cloud migration: Majority of workloads were moving to Google Cloud (GCP) that had to be protected and managed. They needed full control of this data, irrespective of the location.
Fortanix Solutions
The customer identified and implemented Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) software with an initial focus on privacy compliance using TDE for production databases supplemented by tokenization for select critical data fields, such as national identification numbers.
Transparent Database Encryption (TDE) for their production databases (MongoDB and SQL)
Ability to tokenize select fields in SAP HANA like payrolls, and claims as required by GDPR regulations
Additional capabilities like secrets management, and cloud Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) for Azure
Centralized management and controls from a single pane of glass
