Streamlined Breach Response for a Retail Enterprise with Multi-Layered Data Classification

Streamlined Breach Response for a Retail Enterprise with Multi-Layered Data Classification

Delivering accurate, high-volume tagging across diverse sensitive data types

The Ask

Following a data exposure event, a large retail organization needed to tag sensitive data across 900,000 documents, including PII, PHI, biometric, demographic, financial, and employment-related fields. The dataset included over 300,000 spreadsheets – many with multiple tabs and complex formatting – which made manual review inefficient and error-prone. The breadth of tagging (15+ fields and 60+ sub-tags) added further complexity.
