Unifying Multi-Cloud Data Security with Sentra: How Valenz Health Scaled PHI Protection Post-Merger - logo

The Challenge: Post-Merger Complexity Meets Cloud-Scale Risk

The merger of two healthcare entities brought together diverse teams, tools, and data security requirements. While both organizations were focused on strong privacy, security, and compliance, post-merger they sought an efficient way to centralize data security management across multiple cloud platforms and SaaS applications.

"Our merger brought together two companies with IT Infrastructure and Security teams, each with a large amount of data that everyone was now interested in understanding and securing. Sentra allowed us to quickly scan and analyze all of our cloud and SaaS data resources and present them in a single platform that each team could easily view and ingest as needed ."

  • Healthcare-aware classification to accurately identify and protect PHI
  • Unified visibility across multiple cloud providers and SaaS applications
  • Policy-based controls to enforce consistent governance and compliance
  • Policy-based controls to enforce consistent governance and compliance
  • Easy analysis of post-merger data with a unified view

Sentra’s ability to normalize security controls across disparate cloud systems, and its rapid integration with AI and data analytics platform, made it the clear choice.
