Case Study: a large U.S.-based retail company safeguards sensitive data with X1 Distributed GRC

Retail Company Proactively Safeguards Sensitive Data From Unauthorized Environments Using X1 Distributed Grc

X1 worked with a large U.S.-based retail company that was growing quickly through online sales and needed a better way to protect customers’ personally identifiable information. The company struggled to find sensitive data stored in unauthorized places like desktops, laptops, file servers, cloud repositories, and especially PST email files, and its existing process was too slow, disruptive, and difficult to scale across a large workforce.

Using X1 Distributed GRC, the company was able to search and act on data in place across the enterprise from a central location, including content inside files, emails, and attachments without collecting data first. X1 helped the customer run searches on up to 2,000 machines in minutes, quickly identify sensitive information in unauthorized locations, and remediate individual email messages without deleting entire PST containers, saving the audit and compliance teams thousands of hours.
