The challenge

A leading investment firm with over 40 years of expertise was undergoing a large cloud transformation. 

Like many other companies, they faced major challenges in managing and securing their data with the increasing adoption of cloud services like Office 365 and OneDrive.

The distributed nature of data repositories in the cloud posed risks of mismanagement and security breaches. The firm’s small security team struggled with ineffective rules-based content segregation and folder-level permissions, leading to manual oversight burdens and potential audit and compliance issues.

The firm partnered with Concentric AI to enhance data governance and protection.

Concentric AI’s solution offered tools for data discovery and understanding, crucial for managing legacy data and data spread across various cloud services.

The firm’s security team was now able to identify stale and misnamed data and gain a topology mapping for data visibility, which facilitated informed data management decisions.

Concentric AI’s Semantic Intelligence grouped documents into thematic clusters and surfaced high-risk documents, allowing for dynamic content sensitivity understanding and remediation through permission changes and third-party tool integration.

From the customer

Results

With Concentric AI, the company achieved significant improvements in their data governance and protection strategy, including:

Quick implementation, immediate results:

Concentric AI was set up in just one day and swiftly scanned 6 million files on on-premises Windows servers. Its deep learning technology organized files into 200 thematic clusters such as Financial, Partner, and Product documents.

Enhanced document security:

The system flagged approximately 100 business-sensitive files with incorrect group permissions and an additional 200 files with inappropriate user-level permissions.

03
Accurate risk identification:

Concentric AI discovered that around 0.05% of business-sensitive documents were at high risk due to improper entitlements, classifications, and sharing permissions.

04
Time and effort savings:

The solution eliminated the need for the security team to manually inspect documents using regex pattern matching or other manual methods, saving hundreds of man hours per month. 

05
Compliance and audit efforts:

Within just a week of implementing Concentric AI, the company noted substantial enhancements in compliance, prompting them to explore additional ways to leverage the solution for further security improvements.
