Obsolescence

Obsolete files and documents have associated costs and risk but no business value.

DocAuthority have found that typically, businesses can easily identify 30% of their unstructured data as obsolete. Deleting this data can achieve very significant savings as well as reducing risk.

DocAuthority will provide actionable insights within 4 weeks of implementation resulting in the swift realization of cost savings.

Risk will be reduced since within obsolete data there would be expected to be sensitive and personal data which is either no longer accurate or beyond regulated retention periods.

Information access governance

If your business is conducting an information access governance activity or is concerned about securing sensitive information, DocAuthority can save you money by maximizing the value of any work done and reducing the cost of risk retained by the business.

Protecting sensitive data is a requirement for business in order to operate lawfully, retain the trust of their customers and partners as well as securing commercially valuable data from unauthorized parties and competitors.

To achieve this, business is facing rising costs, complexity and risks. DocAuthority can significantly reduce these challenges by automatically:

  • Identifying folders which have high volumes of sensitive data (and their owners)
  • Identifying business processes which are publishing sensitive information as well as identifying the outputs from those business processes wherever it is
  • Identifying accounts which appear to have excessive privileges

Going beyond this, we provide practical guidance and tooling to mitigate identified risks and issues

If you're interested in forecasting how much you can reduce your business's exposure to breach risk using DocAuthority, why not have a look here.

Document classification

Classifying business data is a foundation element of information risk management and information security as well as also contributing significantly to regulatory compliance.

DocAuthority does this by:

  • Allowing you classify large numbers of documents as a single entity
  • Supporting persistent classification for a document type.
  • Allowing you to quickly standardize on a different, new or existing classification standard
  • Supporting more than one classification standard side-by-side
  • Allow you to re-classify documents quickly and easily
