Case Study: guard.me strengthens data security and compliance with MySQL Enterprise Edition

Guard.me secures 1.3 million student records with MySQL Enterprise Edition

guard.me, an international student insurance company, faced challenges securing vast amounts of student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to meet strict data privacy regulations. They also needed to eliminate performance issues with their application and implement a backup solution that wouldn't cause downtime. To solve this, they turned to MySQL Enterprise Edition.

By implementing MySQL Enterprise Edition, guard.me utilized its Transparent Data Encryption, Masking and De-Identification, and Audit features to comprehensively secure student data and ensure regulatory compliance. The MySQL Thread Pool resolved performance issues, and MySQL Enterprise Backup allowed for daily, non-disruptive backups. As a result, guard.me can now securely scale its database to support a growing number of students while maintaining high application availability.
