Data Classification for Utilities
Utilities industries often have lengthy and complex supply chain networks and the nature of demands on these types of organisations mean that pricing or other market information can send an entire economy into a spin. Information within the gas, oil and electricity industries can be both particularly valuable, and highly vulnerable.
Classifying data within the Utilities industry empowers you to identify critical data quickly and easily, and then to protect, track and manage your data in a way that will give you confidence. It helps you ensure that information that needs to stay within your business, doesn’t stray where it doesn’t belong, and that you remain compliant with essential regulations and standards such as ISO 27001 and BS10010.
HANDD’s team of data classification specialists have been rolling out data classification programmes, from design right through to post-implementation support and training, for over 10 years and represent many businesses within the Utilities sector. Their team of data classification specialists are available to support you through any stage of your data classification adoption or roll out.
Find out how HANDD’s team of specialists can support you at any or every stage in implementing data classification in your organisation. Call +44 (0)8456 434 063 today.

Challenge: Controlling data with vast user access
With over 4000 end users, an Insurance industry client came to HANDD for help. They needed to ensure policy details couldn’t be sent to unauthorised external parties by email. Using data classification, we identified and classified new documents containing policy numbers. Then we integrated the classification platform with the client’s Symantec DLP solution, enabling DLP to work more efficiently to ensure sensitive content only travels to cleared recipients.
Challenge: Managing compliance with large volumes of legacy data
With billions of records to sift through and strict compliance mandates, a global bank needed to get control over their legacy data. First, using a discovery tool HANDD helped them identify their sensitive data and discover where it was stored. Then, we labelled their data using Data Classification. This enabled them to apply protective measures efficiently to their most sensitive files for the first time.
Challenge: Ad-hoc application of protective measures
Staff typing SECURE into email subject lines to trigger downstream protection of sensitive data left plenty of scope for error. At this leading financial services organisation classification was inconsistent and ad-hoc. Security of delivery was unreliable. They contacted HANDD for help improving their classification processes. We implemented a Data Classification solution that would automatically classify emails. Integrating with a message gateway it prevents data falling into the wrong hands.
