The Client

Global Chemical Company with over 10,000 employees in offices, technical centers, and 50+ manufacturing facilities.

Their Challenge

Enterprise Data Protection—Given the growing volumes and ever-evolving security and compliance demands, they needed security for data accessed, produced, and stored within their enterprise. Entering the engagement, they had M365 Purview E5 licenses and were using Microsoft Azure cloud storage.

Why Lighthouse?

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) chose Lighthouse because our designation as a Microsoft Security Solutions and Advanced Specialization Designation Information Protection and Governance Partner demonstrates our in-depth knowledge of Purview and the Microsoft ecosystem.

The Solution

Lighthouse’s Information Governance Consultants supported the client from project visioning through user training. Our experts:

Held collaborative working sessions with all stakeholders, including the Information Security Team, IT, and Legal Department, to define requirements;

Performed data discovery using the proprietary Lighthouse Environment Scan to identify gaps;

Designed and configured a holistic data protection solution leveraging Microsoft Purview workloads;

Provided training to support ongoing compliance.

[Lighthouse] helped us not only implement the technology and guide us through some of the critical points to consider as we implemented the technology, but also the process and decision points with data—which ultimately, in the end, actually worked.
