The Growing Complexity of Data Breaches

Data breaches are an unfortunate reality that organizations must confront with increasing frequency. As cyber threats evolve, so too do the scale and sophistication of data breaches. The pressure on organizations to quickly assess the scope of these breaches is immense, as they must meet stringent regulatory requirements, notify affected individuals within tight timeframes, and mitigate both reputational and financial risks.

However, the current tools available to organizations often fall short of providing the speed, accuracy, and depth necessary to truly understand the full impact of a breach. Organizations struggle to quickly determine which data was accessed, who was affected, and how to comply with varying regulations across multiple jurisdictions. The complexity is further compounded by the lack of centralized visibility into data, which makes it difficult to identify sensitive or regulated information during a breach. As a result, many organizations are left scrambling to understand the breach’s impact and navigate the compliance landscape.

BigID’s Breach Impact Assessment

In response to these challenges, we’ve launched our Breach Impact Assessment service, designed to help organizations accelerate breach response efforts, minimize regulatory risks, and swiftly assess the scope and impact of security incidents. This service combines BigID’s advanced, in-depth data discovery capabilities with rich and insightful reporting and integration options, providing organizations with actionable insights to drive faster and more effective breach responses.

BigID’s Breach Impact Assessment provides unparalleled support for organizations in their efforts to understand and respond to security incidents. By quickly identifying impacted data, custodians, and compliance obligations, our service empowers organizations to mitigate the breach’s impact, accelerate recovery, and reduce compliance risks.

The Impact: From Reputation to the Bottom Line

The ability to quickly understand and assess the scope of a data breach is critical. The longer it takes to assess a breach, the higher the costs – both financial and reputational – that an organization may incur. BigID’s Breach Impact Assessment drastically accelerates the breach response timeline, helping organizations identify critical data and custodians affected promptly.

Also, the complexity of multi-jurisdictional regulations makes compliance even more challenging. With evolving data privacy laws across regions, including the GDPR in the EU and CCPA in California, ensuring compliance while responding to a breach is a top priority for any organization. Our service simplifies this process by providing targeted insights into data residency and breach notification requirements, helping organizations stay ahead of the regulatory curve.
