Case Study: a Fortune 10 multinational energy corporation achieves rapid GDPR BCR compliance with ALTR

ALTR Helps Fortune 10 Corporation Meet Stringent Compliance Requirements in Just Weeks

The customer, a Fortune 10 multinational energy corporation, faced the immense challenge of meeting a stringent six-week deadline for GDPR Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) compliance. Their initial solution from a competitor failed due to performance issues and a lack of cloud-native design, leaving them needing to rapidly implement robust data protection for customer PII within Snowflake and their upstream data pipelines. They turned to the vendor ALTR for its automated data governance solution.

ALTR implemented its format-preserving encryption (FPE) and Shift Left Data Governance capabilities, enabling the corporation to encrypt sensitive data natively in Snowflake and within their ETL pipelines before the data even arrived. This SaaS-based solution from ALTR resulted in a rapid two-hour proof of concept and a deployment that was completed in weeks instead of months. The company achieved its compliance goals, eliminated significant projected costs for on-premises appliances, and improved query performance by keeping data processing within the cloud.
