Experis developed Governance policies across six Enterprise Operating units and remediated thousands of unstructured data points across SharePoint, OneDrive, NFS, and external media.
Business Challenge
A large global medical device and pharmaceutical company was looking for solutions to protect data and reduce medical device business risk. The client needed to work with various asset owners to identify, certify and remediate assets that lacked data controls, but lacked the in-house expertise to complete these tasks.

Additionally, the team worked with the stakeholders and cybersecurity to create a process to scan and identify network file shares globally.
