SUMA Federal Credit Union Data Protection Case Study

This case study details the data protection measures implemented by SUMA Federal Credit Union (FCU) to secure sensitive information, including personally identifiable information (PII) and payment card information (PCI). The document outlines the challenges faced by SUMA FCU in managing the transfer and storage of highly regulated data, which necessitates compliance with various regulations. It describes the solution provided by Menlo Security, specifically their Zero Trust Data Detection and Response (DDR) system, which automates the detection and masking of sensitive data during SFTP transfers. The case study emphasizes the importance of maintaining compliance with standards such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, and CCPA while ensuring operational efficiency. It also highlights the benefits of automated processing and audit-ready reporting, which significantly reduce risks associated with manual data handling. The partnership with Menlo Security has enhanced SUMA FCU's confidence in safeguarding sensitive data and improving customer experience.
