The partnership between Dataguise and WHISHWORKS will help organisations to overcome difficulties in unlocking Big Data's potential because of the compliance requirements that will be imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May, 2018. As many organisations struggle to combine their various data sources into a secure structure that can yield the rich insights necessary to drive meaningful and sustainable business growth, WHISHWORKS recognises that some view this information as out of reach, expensive, or sensitive in nature. WHISHWORKS deployments that integrate Dataguise security and compliance software will enable solution efficiency, security and greater profits by allowing higher levels of access through a secure and searchable data security framework in order to maximise the value of becoming a data-driven organisation.
"The vast well of information, indexes, and systems held by organisations represents a potential game changer for professionals seeking to expand their operations using Apache Hadoop," said Tony Ward, Head of Big Data Consultancy at WHISHWORKS. "DgSecure is an innovative and effective solution for ensuring data security and compliance when leveraging single or multiple Hadoop distributions for analytics and other purposes. The high level integration expands our key competencies across multiple data management platforms and supports our vision of improving the customer experience without unnecessary risk."
DgSecure delivers a comprehensive data security and compliance solution for all data source types, allowing users to quickly understand what, where, and how sensitive data is detected, protected, and accessed across the enterprise. The advanced features in version 6.0 provide all-in-one sensitive data governance, privacy compliance, and risk mitigation. The software supports a wide range of IT and data management frameworks and enhances the operational experience for data stewards and CISOs managing these systems.
"With their team of data experts, WHISHWORKS helps an impressive list of clients harness the benefits of Big Data for business intelligence, growth, and operational efficiency," said Ron Miles, Vice President, International Sales. "Dataguise ensures those actions occur securely to protect against both internal and external threats while compliance is maintained with a real-time dashboard that reveals the current status and location of all sensitive data throughout the organisation. We are pleased to partner with WHISHWORKS and support data-driven organisations with these endeavors."
