Case Study: Point Park University saves $100,000 annually and strengthens data security with Gimmal Discover™

Point Park University Saves $100,000 Annually with Gimmal Discover

Point Park University, a higher education institution, struggled to locate and manage sensitive and copyrighted data across a large, device-diverse campus network — a problem made urgent by a cease-and-desist over an unknown copyrighted video. To address time-consuming, manual searches that existing tools like Microsoft Office 365 couldn’t fully handle (notably local laptops), the university turned to Gimmal and deployed Gimmal Discover™.

Gimmal Discover™ automated scalable discovery of structured and unstructured data across the network and local devices, scanning for sensitive items (student records, bank routing numbers, etc.) and enabling secure deletion or remediation under policies such as FERPA, HIPAA, GLBA, GDPR, and CCPA. The Gimmal solution cut response time for eDiscovery, reduced organizational risk, freed IT staff for other projects, and delivered nearly $100,000 in annual savings for Point Park University.
