Protect What Matters Most – Sensitive Consumer Data Transmitted Across Communication Networks
The telecommunications industry keeps the world connected via the internet, phones, and airwaves. With mobile devices dominating as a primary source of communication, telecom corporations have access to vast amounts of personally identifiable information (PII), including location data, biometrics, and voice audio. This invaluable data has led to telecom companies skyrocketing as targets for cybercrime, and because this industry controls so many others — from government to finance to healthcare — the effects of a successful cyberattack can be felt across the board.
From CCPR to GDPR, telecom companies must comply with multiple data security regulations to protect an ever-expanding body of sensitive data, which has become further complicated as of late by the popularity of IoT technology, such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and home security cameras, as well as the permanence of remote work, which opens doors to threats from insider attacks and third-party applications. With so much data at risk, telephone, internet, and satellite providers must take proactive measures to minimize vulnerabilities.
A Spirion-first approach makes it easy to proactively protect client and business data with persistent data discovery, classification, and protection, along with easy data security application integration. Companies can determine strategic protections and actions for their data, and monitor progress without burdening staff or risking human error. This fortifies sensitive data security and ensures that it’s given compliance-appropriate protections, while still providing the flexibility that allows admins to perform critical business functions.

What if you could automatically and persistently discover, classify, understand, control, and protect sensitive data in a way that ensured compliance but also allowed for business agility? With Spirion, you can.
As data proliferates, discovery becomes exponentially more difficult. Most organizations have terabytes and petabytes of data spread across servers, laptops, and other devices. Solving the problem requires a Privacy-Grade™ discovery solution with enough breadth to search all locations and depth to find any data type.
Once you have located all of your data, the automated application of persistent labels, tags, and visual markers helps both humans and computers determine its sensitivity and treat it consistently. Classification ensures that only appropriate parties can access sensitive data as it moves through the organization and supports information sharing with other data protection controls.
After Discovery and Classification are complete, each team can gain a better understanding of its data footprint. A full picture of your data inventory allows you to operationalize data, foster organizational productivity, conduct historical reviews and analysis, ensure competitiveness, and maintain data privacy.
To secure unprotected data, you need to control who can see it, when they can see it, and what they can do with it during any data lifecycle action – from creation to disposal. Control includes file shredding, redaction, quarantine, reduction of access rights, third-party controls, and role management at the job-role or server administration level.
Consumers can demand the right to know and the right to be forgotten. Contracts with vendors often require data privacy safeguards. Auditors and industry-specific regulators have their own rules about how consumer data is collected, stored, and used. With regulations on the rise, proactive protection is more critical than ever.
Protect sensitive information with a solution that is customizable to your organizational needs. When your job is to protect sensitive data, you need the flexibility to choose solutions that support your security and privacy initiatives.
Not knowing where sensitive client financial data resides and failing to take the right security precautions can be a costly mistake for your organization. Find out how Data privacy is treated in your sector.
