Helping Resolve Data Security Challenges Using ArchiveIt (Case Study)

One of the major problems faced by many large companies across the world is ensuring the security of customer data; these business organizations generate massive volumes of customer data and this calls for the development of a robust framework to ensure data safety, and thereby, prevent its theft and/or misuse.

Unfortunately, many companies do not have requisite data management processes and policies in place that secure their customer data. This can lead to data larceny, resulting in the imposition of huge penalties by regulatory bodies and loss of hard-earned reputation.

Today, we will see how we enabled one of the largest car rental companies in North America secure its customer information, perform data testing in a safe, effective manner and enhance productivity significantly.
