Breakwater Privacy

Proactive Data Privacy for Unstructured Data

Software Overview

Breakwater PrivacyTM enables customers to identify and remediate data privacy concerns in a fraction of the time by connecting to multiple unstructured data sources and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to sample and segment data targeting hot spots. Problematic data can be grouped, and policy-driven actions like Quarantine, Delete, and Append Name can be applied. These capabilities are beneficial to proactive cyber security processes by protecting or removing files that hackers typically access during a cyber breach.

Key Features

AI segmentation and sampling - a new approach to rapidly analyzing data

Breakwater Privacy changes the approach to data privacy by providing a practical methodology for identifying and prioritizing data stores with high volumes of sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII) through AI segmentation and sampling. AI segmentation is the process of creating the equivalent of a fingerprint of files that contain sensitive personal data and PII. Sampling is the process of evaluating a select number of files out of an entire corpus and extrapolating the analysis to the larger data set with a level of confidence. Combined, these techniques provide the fastest method to profile and reduce risk in large volumes of data.

Out-of-the-box categorizations

Breakwater provides a set of out-of-the-box categorizations to reduce the time and complexity of initiating a privacy program. These categorizations prioritize the discovery elements of sensitive information that are the riskiest. The categories cover Personal, Financial, Health, Employment & Biometric Data and can be utilized to help comply with multiple regulations, including CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, LGPD, HIPPA, and PCI.

Built on the Breakwater Governance Cloud

Breakwater Privacy runs on the Breakwater Governance Cloud, which can be implemented via all modern technology deployment models – multi-tenant SaaS, single-tenant public or private cloud, or on-premises. The platform scales to large enterprises through the deployment of decentralized processing nodes. Additionally, organizations can deploy the multi-tenant option with instances within individual regions in compliance with data localization requirements.

Overview

  • Identify and remediate O365 data privacy concerns in a fraction of the time by connecting to multiple unstructured data sources
  • Leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to sample and segment data targeting hot spots
  • Problematic data can be grouped, and policy-driven actions like Quarantine, Delete, and Append Name can be applied
 

Supported Use Cases

Breakwater Privacy is designed to simplify the implementation and ongoing operation of the Privacy function within companies. Breakwater Privacy supports four foundational privacy requirements:

  • Privacy Risk Assessment
  • Data Profiling and Classification
  • Risk Mitigation and Data Minimization
  • Data Migration and Localization
 

Create Investigations

  • Connect to O365 data sources and scan hundreds of file types their native location
  • Select scan preferences and categorization types
  • Identify the areas of highest risk without the need to index every document
 

Out of the Box Categorization

  • Breakwater provides a set of out of the box categorizations that prioritize the combinations of personal information that should be considered the riskiest.
  • The categories cover Personal, Financial, Health, Employment & Biometric Data and can be utilized to help comply with multiple regulations, including CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, LGPD, HIPPA, and PCI.
 

Statistical Sampling & AI Segmentation

  • A practical methodology for identifying and prioritizing data stores with high volumes of sensitive data/PII.
  • Sampling is the process of evaluating a select number of files out of an entire corpus and extrapolating the analysis to the larger data set with a level of confidence.
  • AI segmentation creates the equivalent of a fingerprint of files that contain sensitive data/PII.
  • The Breakwater AI then predicts which documents most likely contain sensitive data/PII.
  • Combined with sampling, these techniques provide the fastest method to profile and reduce risk in large volumes of data.
 

Analyze Results and Take Action

  • Powerful visualizations show your actual and estimated risk over time.
  • Problematic data can be grouped, and policy-driven actions like Move/Quarantine, Delete, and Append Name can be applied.
