The data migration challenge

Consumer and commercial financial services companies hold significant volumes of ‘risky’ or sensitive unstructured data such as PII and key client information, respectively. And with legacy data stores and practices in most mature financial organisations pre-dating the stringent regulations enforced by PCI DSS, FCA, PRA and GDPR,  there's a good chance that you'll have high volumes of non-compliant information buried deep within your data estate.

If this information is not adequately secured, classified or deleted, there's a massive risk of reputational damage and high monetary fines in the event of a data breach or leak.

That's why ‘knowing your data’ is so important if you are preparing for a data migration project, or any other data initiative.

Get visibility of your data estate before a migration

Exonar Reveal provides central visibility of your organisation’s data estate, allowing you to quickly assess large data sets at scale, or drill into specific information with a detailed view beyond just the metadata. After you’ve identified and tagged required information, you can then remediate it outside of the platform with confidence.

Advanced search

Search for unsecured toxic and risky unstructured data that isn’t password protected and tag items requiring attention to protect your organisation from reputational damage in the event of a breach.

Risk dashboard

Gain quick oversight of spreadsheets and files containing significant volumes of PII or credit card numbers which could be non-compliant with financial regulation authority standards.

Privacy Dashboard

Establish which data stores are holding large volumes of PII and understand the sensitive subjects and topics most referred to in your organisation’s unstructured data. Find risky files stored in unexpected data stores.
