Government officials are responsible for a broad spectrum of citizens’ personal information, from Social Security numbers and tax documents to property deeds and census data. Educational institutions also possess a wide range of student, parent, donor, faculty, and administration personal identifiable information (PII), from financial aid applications and personal health information (PHI) to academic records and bank information. Public sector organizations are responsible for creating systems to protect that information and ensuring the network infrastructure is safeguarded from attacks, which can be a challenge with complex IT environments, limited budgets, and SecOps staffing shortages.
Spirion minimizes the risks associated with growing volumes of citizen and student personal information and sensitive organizational data by providing accurate visibility into the complete landscape of data no matter where it lives—on networks, in the cloud, on remote file servers, and on physical devices—with industry-leading, independently validated 98.5% accuracy. With Spirion, public sector agencies reduce risk exposure, improve efficiencies, and inform decision-making while facilitating compliance with data protection and privacy legislation, including CMMC, CJIS, HIPAA, and FERPA.
