Case Study: Waikato Regional Council creates a future-proof compliant data network with Castlepoint Systems

Waikato Regional Council exposes 80,000 duplicates with Castlepoint Systems

Waikato Regional Council (WRC), a local government agency in New Zealand, faced challenges in managing its expanding data across Microsoft 365 and network shares. This lack of visibility posed significant risks to the security and integrity of sensitive information and made regulatory compliance difficult. To address this, WRC deployed the explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) platform from vendor Castlepoint Systems.

The Castlepoint solution provided WRC with a holistic view of its data, enabling comprehensive auditing and automated classification. The platform identified high-risk records, exposed over 80,000 duplicates, and tracked more than 50,000 records for disposal. This has helped WRC secure its data, meet compliance obligations, and plans to extend Castlepoint's capabilities to other systems for a complete information management picture.
