Reducing the Risk of Fines Due to Non-Compliance

A tech company supports government entities and handles personally identifiable information (PII) almost exclusively. They also hire seasonal employees annually, who are more likely to be less familiar with their existing security policies. While they have a solution to manage the risk of Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) violations in email, they had no way to set up alerts on sharing of sensitive data in Slack.

Using Aware’s Signal application, they developed policies and rules to alert in real-time if employees have shared social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and passport numbers within Slack.

As a result, they have seen time savings and risk reduction by automating PII event notifications and incorporating Slack data into their existing processes and solutions. With Aware’s upcoming Context API Signal End Points, they soon will be able to pull all Signal events into their other DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution, creating a one-stop-shop for all their security needs.
