ADVCOM Adopts Storage Made Easy File Fabric to Use Its PII Data Discovery

Solution to Detect Sensitive Data Stored in OpenIO SDS Object Storage

The SME, GDPR ready, Enterprise File Fabric allows ADVCOM’s customers to instantly discover
and classify personal data stored in their OpenIO SDS object storage.

London, United Kingdom, June 19, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Storage Made Easy® (SME) announced that
ADVCOM, a French professional services company, has integrated the SME Enterprise File Fabric™
with its cloud offering solutions to allow customers to discover and catalogue personally identifiable
information (PII), a key factor for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

BeSafe, the new ADVCOM cloud solution, leverages the end-to-end certified stack provided by SME
File Fabric and OpenIO SDS, allowing its customers to reduce the cost of traditional storage
infrastructures, improve user experience, shore up security and compliance, and increase overall
infrastructure resiliency, while also being ready to face data protection legislation, such as GDPR.

Under the GDPR, and other data privacy regulations, businesses face increasing regulatory
responsibilities to secure the personal data they collect from customers and others. For an organisation
with substantial data assets, one of the challenges associated with ensuring that PII data is managed
appropriately is knowing where that data resides in their systems.

The Enterprise File Fabric's PII feature helps enterprise customers manage personal information by
automatically detecting personal information in documents and alerting the organisation's information
security specialists or other designated users to its presence. The PII Scanning & Detection engine
compares this data to a number of predefined and/or custom rules. PII based data is then automatically
tagged and discovery based events are triggered.

Discovering PII based data is the first step to mitigating potential data breaches and with the Enterprise
File Fabric it is automatic and transparent and it does not require third-party application integrations as
many other vendor offerings do.

Once personal information has been discovered the File Fabric can also be used to enforce data protection
policies protecting new data before it becomes an issue.

Laurent Delattre, CEO of ADVCOM, "SME is the solution of the future to solve the problems related to
the information sharing. The applications are multiple while respecting the GDPR."

Laurent Denel, CEO of OpenIO, "Thanks to our strong partnership with SME, we are proud to help
customers like ADVCOM building innovative GDPR-focused solutions, without compromises about
TCO, features or scalability."

Jim Liddle, CEO of Storage Made Easy said, "We welcome ADVCOM as a Storage Made Easy customer
and look forward to being a big part of their future success."
