Your organization has a lot of data which moves around.
You need to know what it is, how to handle it,
and how to protect it.
A large proportion of data loss is
caused by human error and the inability of automated security
products to intervene in line with organisational security
policies.
So what's the best way to get your user community
upbeat, informed, and on your side?
By making applying a security label as intuitive and easy as
possible.
Substituting terms that your users already know
and understand to drive the classification.
For example, Jim generates and handles
various documents, such as sales reports regularly.
Some of the reports are for internal use only,
and therefore need to be carefully protected,
while as others can be sent externally
to regional partners.
Because his organisation uses Boldon James Classifier,
Jim only has to categorize the document as MD Sales
Report, a term he understands.
In the background, Boldon James Classifier
labels this as Finance/Management/Internal,
and applies a flag to encrypt the document.
If Jim has a query about the report
and attaches it to an email, the email's classification
is automatically updated, ensuring
that Jim can only send it to staff authorized
to view such information.
Sending the reports to partners, Jim
uses the categorisation, Partner Report,
a term regularly used and understood by Jim.
Boldon James classifier automatically
adds the visual label, NDA Required.
Classifier knows who can receive these documents,
meaning Jim doesn't have to do anything.
By using terminology that is relevant to users
and their roles, categorising data in this way
can be applied across all departments,
making employees' jobs much easier,
and ensuring that the corporate security policy is consistently
applied in the form of data-handling rules,
securing any data from potential insider or external threats,
and helping to decide when to delete out-of-date files.
Applying the right security label and data governance label
is automated by the system based on a single category choice.
The users are happy that they can understand
the method of classification, and that it fits in
with their daily routine.
The CSO and CFO are happy that the correct security labels are
being applied to information, ensuring compliance
with regulations and meeting governance requirements,
while the cost and speed of implementing classification
across the organization has been dramatically reduced.
By capturing the business context,
Boldon James classifier engages with end users in an accessible
manner, using clear business friendly terminology
that they understand and are familiar with.
Since 1985, Boldon James has enabled the world's
leading organizations to embrace a more holistic approach
to classification to unlock the power and value of data.
Today, over 1,000 organizations around the world
