Case Study: Large Bank reduces data risk and cuts costs with Protecto

Lage Bank - Customer Case Study

Large Bank’s US division partnered with Protecto after rapid growth left its data warehouse bloated, harder to govern, and more exposed to cyber and privacy risk. The team needed better visibility into stale data, sensitive data locations, and inactive users, but relied on manual processes and lacked a clear view of where risks existed.

Protecto implemented its data protection platform to map the warehouse down to the table level, identify sensitive databases and tables, flag stale data unused for 90 days, and build a matrix of users with access to high-risk data. The results were immediate: the first scan showed that over 60% of the data hadn’t been used and should be archived, while the bank gained automated controls to remove inactive users and improve overall cyber hygiene.
