Case Study: a national agricultural department achieves secure data governance and demerger transition with Castlepoint Systems

Agricultural Department manages 55,000 systems with Castlepoint

A national agricultural department responsible for enhancing agricultural industries and managing biosecurity risks faced a significant challenge following a demerger. The department, which handles sensitive national security information, needed to manage the transition and ongoing sharing of systems and data with a newly formed spun-off department. They selected Castlepoint to help govern, classify, and determine custody of data across these shared systems.

Castlepoint was deployed to manage the department's extensive cloud estate, registering over 55,000 separate systems. Using its artificial intelligence capabilities, the Castlepoint platform automatically classified data, applied relevant retention policies from 959 different rules, and differentiated data between the departments to ensure effective governance. As a result, Castlepoint managed 55,000 systems with AI and extracted 1.9 million key phrases from over 697,000 items, providing essential transparency and control over the high-risk data estate.
