Why governance matters

Apply consistent controls to sensitive data

Organisations can struggle to identify the data they hold, decide how it should be handled and apply those rules consistently. Sensitive information may be stored, shared or accessed without controls that reflect its sensitivity or business purpose. Retention and disposal can also remain undefined, leaving data in place longer than required.

Technology can discover and classify data, apply labels and technical handling rules, restrict inappropriate disclosure, and support access, retention and disposal controls. These capabilities may help customer IT teams apply more consistent protection and maintain records of relevant data handling activity. Armstrong helps teams understand their requirements, recommend suitable software and provide practical guidance, implementation expertise and product-specific technical support.
