Case Study: U.S. Army TRADOC strengthens data security and accelerates cloud migration with BigID

How the US Army Ensures their Data is in the Safe Zone

A major component of the U.S. Army, TRADOC G-2, faced the challenge of gaining visibility and control over its vast amounts of sensitive and redundant data, including mission-critical and personally identifiable information. With a cloud migration to Azure underway, they needed to identify, classify, and remediate this data to reduce risk, ensure compliance, and optimize costs, all while requiring a solution certified for use on controlled government networks at Impact Level 4 (IL4).

To address this, the U.S. Army selected BigID, whose data discovery and governance platform is certified for IL4. BigID provided a single view to automatically inventory, classify, and manage data across on-prem and cloud sources like SharePoint, SQL Server, and Azure. The solution enabled the Army to eliminate redundant data, automate retention policies for compliance, and securely accelerate its cloud migration by ensuring only the right data was moved, significantly improving its security posture and operational efficiency.
