Stale Data Remediation

Business Requirements

Identification of stale data and movement of same data to secure location

The Delivery

• Varonis DatAdvantage provides full visibility of aged data based on meta data and access activity
• Varonis Data Transport Engine gives the customer the ability to move identified data in bulk and on schedule to a new location, either preserving permissions or removing permissions in transit.

What Did We Do?

Asystec provided technical resources, data analysis & training from design to roll out, including:

• Worked with the customer to determine what they deemed as stale data
• Generation of reports to provide a detailed list of stale data, that was issued to data owners prior to any movement of data
• Creation of application rule to move the specific data and scheduling of same rule to run at a time that suited the business
• Working with the data owners to exclude certain folders from being migrated
• Final configuration and testing of stale data rule
• Post data migration health check
• Providing ongoing consultancy service (draw down professional services days) as/when required.
