Case Study: an international home building products manufacturer automates sensitive data protection with BDO and Microsoft Purview

International Home Building Products Manufacturer improves sensitive data protection with BDO and Microsoft E5

An international home building products manufacturer faced the challenge of protecting sensitive PII, PHI, and financial information to meet regulatory requirements. Relying solely on written policies, they lacked the automatic, real-time protection needed. They engaged BDO to help leverage Microsoft Purview and Defender for Cloud Apps to automate data security.

BDO implemented a solution using Microsoft Purview's sensitivity labels and data loss prevention policies, along with Defender for Cloud Apps. This automated the classification and protection of sensitive data, restricting its sharing outside the organization. As a result, the manufacturer improved its enforcement of data sensitivity policies and enhanced its ability to support compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
