Case Study: Beam Suntory reduces data footprint with Spirion

Distilling a rich history of data – Beam Suntory embraces Spirion partnership

Beam Suntory, a world leader in premium spirits, faced the challenge of managing and protecting its vast amounts of sensitive data accumulated over its long history. With a global footprint and strict regulatory requirements, the company needed a solution to discover, classify, and secure its data to improve governance and reduce risk. They turned to the vendor Spirion for its data discovery and classification capabilities.

Spirion provided Beam Suntory with greater visibility into its unstructured data landscape, enabling the company to understand what data it had and where it was located. This allowed their security team to launch a massive data cleanup initiative. As a result, Beam Suntory remediated 2.6 million files within the first year, significantly reducing its data footprint and strengthening its overall security posture.
