Airavana reduces privacy risks and improves data security while providing customer data discovery across more than 150 cloud applications. It enables enterprises to manage and protect customers’ personal data in consonance with privacy regulations like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
The biggest problem faced by enterprises that hold customers’ sensitive data is the lack of visibility and control of their data sprawl. The lack of visibility of personal data for InfoSec and Privacy teams can lead to privacy violations and data exposures. These mishaps are identified only after someone reports it or a data breach is detected, which can negatively impact a customer’s trust in the company and result in multi-million dollar penalties.
With its AI-powered SaaS platform, Airavana automatically detects customers’ personal data to offer enterprises a unified visibility across cloud applications with an easy to use interface. It further enables InfoSec and Privacy teams to enforce relevant policies to monitor and remediate privacy and data security violations.
