challenges for oc tanner

Challenge

  • To provide employee recognition and reward solutions, O.C. Tanner developed an innovative hybrid cloud strategy for their core applications that leveraged a combination of on-premises infrastructure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
  • O.C. Tanner needed to protect their own and their clients’s sensitive data. What mattered is who has access to this sensitive data, how access is managed and how this data is secured.
  • Therefore, it was critical for O.C. Tanner and their clients that the organization protects data by maintaining control of all encryption keys, tokens and shared secrets for all client data.
  • Adding to the challenge, O.C. Tanner operated multiple sites and wanted the option to operate in multiple clouds.

Solutions

  • O.C Tanner turned to Fortanix DSM to provide a unified key management, tokenization and shared secret solution that could be delivered as a service across their on-premises infrastructure, multiple clouds, and multiple sites in the U.S. and United Kingdom.
  • Vault-less tokenization approach with a cloud-scale architecture for better and faster performance.

“We chose Fortanix to manage our most sensitive data and protect it well. What matters is who has access to this data, how access is managed and how this data is secured. We are working with Fortanix SDKMS in terms of privileged access management, how to tokenize the data, restrict who sees what.”
