The Challenge

When it comes to Data Protection & Governance, there are many laws, regulatory requirements, and expectations organizations need to comply with based on industry. A firm needed help making sense of it all to achieve its end goal, which was to secure its critical data. Their biggest challenge was they did not know where to begin, nor did they understand the necessary steps that needed to take place to define, locate, and ultimately protect valuable information. They required assistance first defining the organization’s critical data, then locating where it is in the environment, and finally making sure the data is protected at all times.

Success Story

The firm was able to leverage Vertex11’s vast experience and knowledge to achieve the level of data protection needed for regulatory compliance. They now have an organizational framework to categorize information, making it easier to access critical data without putting it at risk. Because valuable information was removed from less protected areas in the organization’s IT environment, the firm invested strategically in protection, saving time and resources.

The Vertex11 Advantage

Our team’s deep knowledge of industries goes beyond security and risk to include how the business operates. This added insight allows us to take what a firm perceives as a complex challenge and demystify it for them with an easy-to-understand roadmap for success. Knowing the business and how it works also ensures that our solutions are not theoretical but function in the real-world environment. Unlike many of our competitors, we were able to keep our team small and nimble, so we delivered strategic data protection quickly and within budget. More prominent organizations would have thrown less experienced people on the project, inflating the cost and risking delays.
