Data protection & security concerns

Are you sure that proper data privacy and security controls are in place in order to avoid incidents, reputational damage and even fines?

Situation: Addressing data risks in an increasingly complex data landscape

Your organisation wants to be more data driven as data has become the lifeblood providing competitive differentiation, customer insights and product ideas. Not only is the amount of data coming in overwhelming, so is the ever-increasing complexity and expansion of your data landscape.

In this new landscape, you have to consider your data risk appetite, and determine how to best protect both user privacy and sensitive data.

Challenge: How to make sure data is not falling into the wrong hands?

The more data an organisation collects, the more complex the challenges are that organisations face in keeping the data secure and handling it properly. As GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) has entered into force for all residents of the European Economic Area, related fines can go up to 4% of your global turnover or 20 million euros, whichever is greater.

Organisations that operate outside the EU territory also have to comply with the regulation where it affects citizens of this territory. The several laws and regulations imply that there are many technical security measures to take, as well as organisational measures.

Solution: Implementation of proper data protection and security measures

Sparkle helps organisations by making sure all technical measures like encryption, the use of confidential compute in the cloud, establishing proper access rights on all levels (applications, servers, databases, etc.), pseudonymization or anonymization are in place to avoid data privacy and security incidents.

Besides the technical measures, sound data governance practices like enforcing policies around data classification and defining clear roles and responsibilities, further decreases risks.

Sparkle’s holistic data approach can help you on both technical and governance data protection and security challenges. Please do contact us to discuss how we can manage and help overcome your data challenges.

At VAR we are modernizing our application landscape. We wanted to take the usage of data to the next level. With Sparkle, we introduced speed and efficiency in the setup of a modern data platform. The data platform is fed in real time and has not only delivered new insights, but has also become a crucial part of our enterprise architecture.

The organization encountered the need to develop its experience in Business Intelligence. We hired Sparkle and they did not only deliver the right experts, but also helped us finetune our strategic objectives and setup support structures. The pragmatism and maturity of the Sparkle consultants fits really nice within our team.

The operators of the traffic centre get too many traffic alerts and needed a way to filter out only the real incidents. Sparkle (previously Lantana) analysed with different AI methods if a prediction of real alerts was possible. It gave us very goods insights in the data and we decided to improve the granularity, the quality and the quantity of the data.

Sparkle is helping us setting up data governance and enterprise data architecture within our organization. We needed a partner that was capable of tackling several data related challenges from a holistic perspective, with a high level of expertise and yet with a pragmatic approach. We are happy with the highly skilled and qualified services Sparkle offers.

With the help of Sparkle it became more clear what aspects of data we had to focus on and how to build it. Sparkle also helped our health tech startup with finding already existing API’s and methodologies which saved us a lot of time.
