Case Study: a tax and compliance software vendor improves data security and compliance with ALTR

Tax and Compliance Software Vendor Bolsters Security and Simplifies Data Complexity with ALTR

A financial technology company specializing in tax preparation and serving over 10 million customers annually faced significant data governance and security challenges. They needed to protect vast amounts of sensitive PII in Snowflake, adhere to strict FTC compliance mandates, and manage complex data access for a seasonal workforce and third-party service accounts. They turned to ALTR for its data governance and data security solution to simplify these processes and gain control.

ALTR provided a comprehensive solution that included automated data discovery and classification, patented thresholding to control service account access, and a simplified point-and-click UI for creating data masking policies. This allowed the customer to enforce access controls in real-time and guarantee compliance. As a result of implementing ALTR, the company reduced masking policy creation time from 3 hours to 35 seconds, increased the amount of protected data sixfold, and gained unparalleled visibility and control over their data access and usage.
