Carmoola’s Head of Infrastructure, Dmytro Shamenko, faced a familiar challenge for many data security practitioners: ensuring security processes could scale with the company’s rapid growth.

“We wanted to answer critical questions like: What data do we have? How is it classified? Where is it stored? And who has access to it?” Dmytro explains.

The primary goal was to automate Carmoola’s data registry, providing a comprehensive view of sensitive assets across the organization. This registry would encompass employee data, analytics, application data, and user uploads—critical assets that, if left unidentified or unprotected, could pose significant business risks.

Carmoola also sought to implement a robust data classification system, empowering the compliance team to act independently and efficiently for meeting regulatory requirements and proactively mitigating risks across platforms like Google Workspace, AWS, and Snowflake.

Carmoola partnered with Cyera to advance its existing security program with enhanced data visibility, AI-powered classification, and greater controls across its data ecosystem.

Cyera emerged as the solution that aligned best with Carmoola’s vision, immediately addressing the need for a data registry, classification, and identifying issues with improper data placement. Its ability to automate data discovery and classification across multiple environments—including AWS, Snowflake, and Google Workspace—set it apart.

Moreover, the “smooth” integration with AWS services made Cyera an ideal fit. Cyera connects to AWS via native APIs to scan and discover data at scale, quickly classifying data within AWS services with 95%+ precision. The implementation process to begin discovering and classifying data can take as little as five minutes.

Cyera provided immediate visibility into Carmoola’s data estate, identifying key areas of risk and enabling the team to address and monitor for misconfigurations and overexposed data.

“We configured everything in one day, then it took about two days for scanning. By the end of the scanning, we already analyzed and classified all data.”

Another significant impact of Cyera’s platform was the newfound independence of Carmoola’s compliance team, improving operational efficiency and allowing the infrastructure team to focus on strategic priorities.

Cyera’s visibility into data enhanced Carmoola’s ability to maintain strict control over platforms like Google Workspace, proactively addressing potential risks, reducing the data attack surface, maintaining customer trust, and meeting strict regulatory requirements.
