Combats Shadow IT and Personal Info “Sprawl”;
Digs Deep Across Networks to Reveal Personal and Sensitive Personal Data
Technology startup 1touch.io today launched the first data protection and privacy management & control solution born of the enormous growth of privacy regulation globally. Specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of the General Data Protection Directive (GDPR), as well as those of HIPAA, PCI DSS and other regulations, the1touch.io suite of solutions provides continuously updated visibility into the data flows within an organization, enabling privacy and security stakeholders to locate all personal data, be it known or unknown, structured or unstructured, in motion or at rest.
GDPR sets the guidelines for how global organizations store, process and share personal data collected from organizations established in the EU in order to protect data subject rights. Unfortunately, organizations are increasingly storing personal data in unsecured locations within local and network storage, email, the cloud and other areas of ‘shadow IT.’ This creates security risks and non-compliance with many regulations. Existing data discovery and business process mapping solutions are labor-intensive and non-comprehensive, requiring users to classify every piece of data and track location details, yet providing no insight into network data flows.
1touch.io is a leading solution that maps the organization’s personal data flow to business processes, outlining how information is being shared within the network and with partners and international organizations. It is also able to auto-classify, i.e. identify and categorize data by type with no user intervention.
“Our mission is to provide organizations with an efficient, simple and inexpensive means of tracking personal data — not just for GDPR, but for all compliance and security purposes,” said 1touch.io CEO and co-founder Zak Rubinstein. “We are receiving a number of referrals from security resellers and law firms, because our solution helps companies show privacy regulators that they are taking reasonable steps to protect personal data, and much more. It essentially provides significant support for compliance with all privacy rights involving data access, rectification, erasure, processing restrictions, third-party sharing, notification and data portability.”
1touch.io is available as hardware or for installation on a virtual appliance, and works by combining several cutting edge and proprietary technologies and techniques, including:
