A proven strategy

Outline your business needs around data protection and information handling with guidance from the Titus Professional Services team. By engaging with stakeholders from across your organization, we can ensure that everyone has an agreed-upon blueprint to follow as your Titus data security solutions roll out to users.

Step 1: ENGAGE

Before any technology discussions occur, we engage with you for deep planning. It’s critical to identify your business stakeholders, including account executives, sales engineers, professional services team members, product managers, people from customer service management, human resources, and other departments. All of these people must be involved at every step of the way. As a team, we will review the Titus implementation methodology and align on the functionality your organization needs to implement.

At this initial stage, it’s critical to discuss roles and responsibilities, identifying specific individuals who will approve each step along the way.

• Set up a process for providing feedback during implementation.
• Review key success factors.
• Align on a communications plan and strategy that keeps employees informed — beginning now.
• Map out user acceptance testing (UAT) strategy and identify stakeholders.
• Review requirements from important departments or countries.
• Consider compliance mandates and other external factors.
• Determine whether your existing technologies will leverage the classification metadata for optimization (data loss prevention (DLP), archiving, etc.).
• Identify a long-range vision for classification in the organization (with flexibility in mind).

Step 3: CONFIGURE

This phase consists of the technical implementation of your requirements from the design phase. We will work with your tech team to build your configuration within the Titus administration console. If necessary, we will engage your other security technologies to integrate with Titus and make use of metadata for monitoring or policy implementation.

• Perform testing across user communities.
• Review, adjust, and update your configuration based on feedback.
• Engage technical stakeholders to get sign-off.

Step 5: MATURE

Once your Titus solution is up and running, you will continue to run reports to monitor the key success factors that were identified during the ENGAGE stage. It’s a process that will continue as your business evolves and you identify new success factors. The Titus reporting functionality allows you to identify the amount of data being classified as well as events that are preventing data leaks. You can also use reporting to identify trends that may require a change to the classification configuration.

• Invite users to new product release webinars.
• Collect feedback to design product enhancements.
• Evaluate holistic needs for classification and information protection.
• Review evolving internal and external drivers for classification (new policies, legislations, regulation, standards, etc.).
