A new press release reports, “Titus, the expert in data classification and a Blackstone portfolio company, today introduced Titus Illuminate 2020, the latest release of the company’s flagship solution for identifying and classifying unstructured data at rest. Titus Illuminate 2020 seamlessly integrates with Titus Accelerator for Privacy to better control data with personally identifiable information, regardless of whether it’s stored in an on-premises or cloud repository, including Box, Dropbox, Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint. An added layer of intelligence delivered through machine learning and AI further speeds data detection and protection. ‘Finding and dealing with sensitive personal data is just as difficult as determining which corporate information has retained or lost its business value over time,’ said Mark Cassetta, senior vice president of strategy at Titus. ‘Using Titus Illuminate, customers can identify sensitive data and apply true data classification policies to ensure it is properly protected, regardless of where it resides’.”
The release continues, “According to GDPR Article 17, individuals have the right to have their data erased (i.e., the “right to be forgotten”). Companies controlling personal data must delete personal data if the individual withdraws consent and there is no legal basis for processing it, as well as if the data no longer serves the purpose for which it was initially collected or otherwise processed—and when there is no legitimate reason to keep it. In order to abide by this rule, companies must first find, identify and classify data appropriately. In today’s climate, consumers want to be able to trust the companies, entities, and brands they interact with and know that their identity and sensitive data are properly protected. Enhanced functionality in Titus Illuminate, including Smart RegEx and customizable metadata, facilitates a faster, more intuitive path to finding sensitive data, which is a critical first step in any data protection strategy.”
