The Challenge

A major financial services company needed to enhance database security and achieve compliance with multiple regulations including SOX, PCI DSS, and GDPR. They required comprehensive encryption, access controls, audit trails, and real-time monitoring to protect sensitive customer financial data across their global operations.

Key Challenges:

  • Meeting multiple regulatory requirements across different jurisdictions
  • Implementing end-to-end encryption without impacting performance
  • Managing granular permissions for thousands of users
  • Comprehensive logging and monitoring for compliance audits
  • Real-time threat detection and response capabilities
