The AvePoint Solution
AvePoint Services researched ITAR and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) requirements and developed more than 20 custom text phrases and regular expressions to help Compliance Guardian identify sensitive data that would need to be managed according to government regulations.
AvePoint’s Service Team also discovered the company’s collaboration methodology would also require EAR compliance, which was alarming to the customer and proved to be true.
Following the successful compliant migration, the large defense contractor worked with AvePoint to implement live scans with Compliance Guardian to force compliance across their environments.
With this implementation, anytime an employee uploaded a document or other file with sensitive information to the wrong location, Compliance Guardian would immediately prevent the upload and quarantine the file to a safe location.
The large global contractor also deployed Compliance Guardian’s ability to classify and tag data files to be managed with their three-tier records management taxonomy. As a result, multiple tags were given to files, which meant these files met the criteria for multiple actions.
To help offset any impact to the performance of the company’s farms, AvePoint implemented offload servers to the architecture to mitigate the impact.
AvePoint also went the extra mile to develop a custom calculator for the customer to determine how to manage the data collected and stored by Compliance Guardian on an ongoing basis. This has been a key component enabling the large defense contractor to continuously monitor for compliance while keeping an eye on their database storage.
