Navigating a Global Manufacturer Through Data Breach Impacts

After suffering a ransomware attack that resulted in more than $100 million in expenses and a major breach of corporate, customer and personal data, a global manufacturer engaged FTI Consulting to identify and extract exfiltrated data and determine which files contained sensitive or personally identifiable information (“PII”).

Our Impact

Following an analysis of more than 26 terabytes of data, all documents containing PII were identified and linked to specific data subjects, ensuring accurate breach notification and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The total number of affected individuals was accurately quantified, and all contact information was identified and cleansed ahead of initiating breach notification regulations.
The client was able to successfully navigate the complex data breach response process, minimizing reputational damage and mitigating future financial risks.

Our Role

FTI Consulting supported the extraction, analysis and review of approximately 19 million files across dozens of servers and developed detailed code scripts to extract and export relevant information.
Our e-discovery experts leveraged cutting-edge technology to process and analyze exposed data in preparation for a scalable managed review, identifying and extracting PII and organizing it for counsel to assess potential regulatory obligations.
Our data and analytics team developed and executed a scalable methodology to link, normalize and reconcile information from multiple structured data sources, allowing us to accurately trace relationships between disparate datasets and streamline the identification of impacted individuals.
