Data Security Implementation at Santa Coloma de Gramenet City Hall

This case study details the implementation of the Lepide Data Security Platform at Santa Coloma de Gramenet City Hall, a municipality in Barcelona, Spain. The City Hall faced significant data security vulnerabilities, including a lack of monitoring for access to sensitive user data, which exposed them to potential internal misuse and cyberattacks. The organization was unable to identify documents containing personally identifiable information (PII) or enforce access controls, leading to compliance challenges. After evaluating various solutions, the City Hall selected Lepide for its technical capabilities and rapid deployment. The platform provided immediate benefits by auditing user behavior, tracking access to sensitive files, and classifying data to apply appropriate access controls. The deployment was completed quickly, allowing the City Hall to enhance their security posture and mitigate risks associated with insider threats. The IT lead noted the critical importance of tracking access to private information, which was previously a significant vulnerability.
