Data Access Security and Governance is a nightmare for IT teams when they don’t have first-hand knowledge of what data is being shared, who owns the data and who has access.
It’s become impossible for IT teams to keep up with the amount of data being shared in the cloud but they are under more pressure than ever to keep their data secure.
What they need is the visibility of who has access to what data and the circumstances in which they have it. Only then can they work at keeping it secure.
It goes without saying that there has to be a strong element of automation in order to achieve this and thankfully there are now cloud-based solutions such as Torsion that can provide the IT team with the visibility they need.
Where Torsion is different to other tools is that most of the other platforms sit in silo and users and IT teams have to take the proactive decision to check them on a regular basis (when often it’s too late to secure the data).
Torsion actually sits within SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive as an extra tab labelled ‘Sharing & Security’. It also sends simple alerts to the owners of data when it looks like their data has been shared incorrectly. In other words the information comes to them, rather than them having to go and find it.
And most importantly for IT teams, they have complete visibility – an architecture of who has access to every site, file and folder and also why they have that access. They can see at a glance any files that have been shared outside of their data security policies. They can also ask Torsion to lockdown any inappropriate access automatically.
It’s an automated, continuous and integral approach to data access security and governance for IT teams.
