Transforming Cloud Data Governance for Privacera

Overview 

Privecera partners with organizations to securely govern sensitive data across complex, multi-cloud environments. However, manually managing updates and configurations posed risks and limited their ability to scale. By partnering with solutions provider Freestone Infotech to transform their architecture, Privecera unlocked more automated, resilient data governance to better serve customers.
‍

1. Manual processes: Platform updates had to be deployed individually across customer environments, requiring extensive manual effort.
2. Scaling complexity: Multiple platform versions and customer-specific configurations made adding new clients and expanding inherently complex.
3. Business risks: Customers experienced intermittent service disruptions during updates and ongoing management.
4. Extended downtime: For each update, customers faced downtime windows, impeding day-to-day governance operations.
   ‍

By moving to an automated, multi-tenant architecture, Privecera aimed to streamline and consolidate governance while enabling seamless expansion.
