Enterprise Encryption at Scale
Home – Case Study
Global Manufacturing Data Security Deployment
Mass Data Defense Corporation led a multi-year deployment of a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 encryption and key management solution to secure one of our client’s most sensitive assets—mission-critical data across finance, aerospace, and defense sectors.
Client:
Celestica Inc.
Location:
Toronto, Canada
Industry:
Manufacturing & SuppLy CHAIN
Challenge:
The client needed to protect high-value data across cloud and on-prem environments, meet stringent compliance requirements like ITAR and CMMC 2.0, and gain full control of encryption keys while reducing reliance on third-party providers.
- Needed to secure sensitive data across cloud and on-prem environments
- Required compliance with ITAR and CMMC 2.0 regulations
- Lacked centralized control over encryption keys and access policies
- Faced risk from excessive admin and vendor access to clear-text data
- Operated hundreds of VMs with inconsistent data protection practices
- Sought to reduce reliance on third-party services for day-to-day security management
These challenges underscored the need for a scalable, integrated solution to ensure consistent data protection and regulatory compliance.
Mass Data Solutions:
Mass Data designed and deployed a comprehensive enterprise encryption support program from the ground up. Over three years, our team implemented key management and encryption across hundreds of virtual machines, securing applications, databases, file shares, and unstructured data. We extended cloud key management to all major providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and applied file system encryption policies consistently across hybrid environments.
We also enforced granular access controls to ensure that vendors, backup systems, system administrators, and infrastructure teams could not view sensitive data in the clear—ensuring true data confidentiality regardless of infrastructure role or privilege.
- Enabled ITAR and CMMC 2.0 compliance for aerospace and defense data
- Secured hundred of thousands of sensitive tax and treasury data files
- Enforced Zero Trust data access across all environments
- Achieved full control of encryption keys across cloud and datacenters globally
- Delivered encryption and compliance at scale, including for finance systems
- Trained the client’s internal team to manage and maintain the solution independently
The solution enabled full data protection and regulatory compliance across finance, aerospace, and defense environments. With Zero Trust access controls and internal team enablement, the client gained long-term control, reduced risk, and scaled securely across all platforms.
Outcome:
A scalable, resilient data protection architecture that secures the client’s “crown jewels” across all environments—reducing risk, enforcing Zero Trust, ensuring compliance, and empowering the organization with long-term data ownership.
