Case Study: Wotton Kearney speeds up PII review by 15% with Canopy Software

Wotton Kearney Speeds Up Data Breach PII Review by 15%

Wotton Kearney, a leader in legal services for the insurance industry, was engaged by a cyber insurer to respond to a data breach at an Australian financial advisory firm. The challenge involved reviewing over 829,000 documents across 76 GB of compromised email data to quickly identify and link exposed personally identifiable information (PII) in order to meet strict notification deadlines and manage costs. The firm sought a faster, more accurate alternative to standard eDiscovery platforms and turned to Canopy Software's Data Breach Response solution.

Canopy's AI-driven software used optimized algorithms to automatically detect and categorize 15 different types of PII within the data set. By implementing purpose-built tools for batching, auto-suggesting entities, and intelligently mapping spreadsheet data, Canopy provided Wotton Kearney's team with a highly efficient workflow. This solution enabled the team to complete their PII review 15% faster than with previous methods, significantly accelerating the breach assessment process and helping to control costs.
