Cultural Awareness
Data classification doesn’t stop once you have a solution installed. Changing your culture to one of awareness is essential in protecting your data. The term ‘loose lips sink ships’ is as relevant now as it was 75 years ago, the only difference is that the resulting loss is economic livelihoods rather than lives.
Enhancing the awareness and educating employees on the value of their data is proven to significantly reduce data loss within an organisation. Communication needs to be early, consistent and tailored to get your users on board with the working processes that they will need to embrace.
But when your business has literally hundreds if not thousands of employees, knowing where to start can be a challenge in itself. This is where the data security experts at HANDD can help you establish policies and programmes to communicate the need for discretion around information within your teams.
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.
Seven Reasons to Classify Your Data

We secure the entire journey of your data, from consultancy and technical design, right through to installation, training and support.
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.
