Point Park University is deploying Gimmal Discover to help automate sensitive data discovery as part of their information governance program. Moving forward, their IT team will be able to quickly search vast numbers of unstructured and structured files across the university network based on qualifiers such as keywords, type of content contained, and file extension , including reaching out to local laptops to get to data is may be otherwise impossible to reach. In addition to locating specific content, Gimmal Discover will allow Point Park to scan all files for sensitive data such as student information and bank routing numbers. Once identified, the files in question can be easily deleted, secured, or otherwise managed as required by university data retention policies such as FERPA, HIPAA, GLBA, GDPR, and CCPA.

Outside of their existing software solutions, such as Microsoft Office 365, implementing Gimmal Discover™ saved Point Park University nearly $100,000 annually. More importantly, the university was able to reach data located on local laptops that otherwise may have been hiding with potential risky sensitive data, something Office 365 cannot do.

Gimmal Discover's™ automated solutions also equipped Point Park’s IT team to respond faster to eDiscovery legal requirements and make it easier to ensure that all sensitive data was stored in compliance with institutional and federal policies. This significantly decreased organizational risk and freed up IT team members to focus their time on other important projects to the benefit of the entire university.
