We think data risk deserves better infrastructure

Data risk does not keep a calendar, so the operating rhythm has to run at two speeds. Decisions happen continuously, at the moment the signal arrives, in the hands of the person accountable for that data. The committee still meets, but to calibrate the rules rather than to clear a backlog.

We built a Professional Service Team

To help organizations adopt data protection solutions.

We added Managed Services

To help customers with data security operations and program support.

We launched a purpose built DLP Appliance

That simplified infrastructure complexity and data residency requirement.

We added Advisory Services

We added Advisory Services to help organizations retro-fit governance programmatic structure into existing data security initiatives that were purely control-based.

We launched Nootron

We launched Nootron, an Adaptive Data Risk Management platform designed to increase the velocity of data risk identification, decisioning, resolution and modernization.

Field notes

Data risk needs operating controls, not more policy

Policy tells us what should happen. Controls make it happen, become measurable, and provable. If unstructured data is the generally the main course for AI initiatives, we might be overdue for a controls library for data risk?
