Creating a World where Data is Safe
for Every Organization,
Every Individual, Every Day - Dathena
MAKING DATA BREACHES OPTIONAL
W
orking with HSBC as a
lead investigator of Swiss
Leaks, the largest data
leak in Swiss banking history, Chris
Muffat, Dathena’s Founder and CEO,
understood that the root cause
behind the crisis was HSBC’s failure
to identify what is needed to protect.
Over the next two years, he came
to realize that all organizations
systematically fail to quickly and
accurately identify and classify
their sensitive information, thereby
putting at risk their customers,
employees, and shareholders. Thus
the idea behind Dathena was born.
While heading Information Risk
Management at Barclays Bank in
Europe and APAC, Chris was unable
to find satisfactory solutions to his
data governance needs. He thus
leveraged his computer science
background to build Artificial
Intelligence-based technology that
solved the real challenges the bank
was facing. This initial solution was
subsequently expanded and today
forms the core of Dathena.

Meet & Maintain
Compliance with Data
Regulations
Data protection regulations are
proliferating around the globe:
GDPR in the European Union,
CCPA in California, APPI in Japan,
PDPA in Singapore, GDPL in
Brazil and more. Compliance with
these regulations has saddled
organizations with significant
financial & operational burdens.
Classify your Data
Quickly and Accurately
Organizations of all sizes and
sectors face exponential growth of
structured and unstructured data.
This increases the need for better
data governance, or risk exposing
the organization, its employees and
its clients to harmful exploitation.
Successful governance is built on
highly precise data classification
by business category and level of
confidentiality. Current solutions
are neither accurate nor time-
efficient, which results in the
underperformance of Data Loss
Prevention tools and costly non-
compliance with regulations.
Protect your Sensitive
Data
Data breaches affect all
organizations and are increasing
in frequency and severity. Causes
range from a simple unauthorized
transfer of data from an employee to
fraudulent activity to international
espionage. Whether preventable or
not, the results are almost always
damaging to the organizations.
Monitor Data Access &
Storage Anomalies
LinkedIn, Dropbox, PayPal, and
Netflix - these are just a few
companies whose customer data has
been leaked due to improper access
and storage. The reputational and
financial damage to organizations
exposed to such breaches can be
dire.

moving to or will have to move to
the cloud. Whether it is to increase
operational flexibility, drive down
