a big four accounting firm scans 700 TB with Data Dynamics to boost compliance

A big four accounting firm faced significant legal and reputational risk after being sued for mishandling audit data. The challenge involved managing 700 TB of sprawling, unstructured data to identify sensitive client information and achieve compliance. To address this, the firm partnered with vendor Data Dynamics and utilized their data management software, Zubin, to streamline data governance.

Data Dynamics implemented a comprehensive solution that scanned and categorized all 700 TB of data, identifying and quarantining 175 TB of sensitive information. This process secured the data, enabled compliance reporting, and facilitated a migration to Azure. The results protected the firm from potential sanctions and reputational damage while establishing a robust data management lifecycle for the future.
