FAQ

All your important questions, answered

Why is now the right time to invest in Metomic?

In the era of SaaS applications, and daily collaboration between remote teams, Slack has emerged as a top player, giving individuals the ability to send instant messages, call their colleagues, and share company-wide updates.

However, with teams sharing hundreds, if not thousands, of messages every day, how can you be sure that Slack is secure?

As data breaches become ever more costly, averaging $4.45 million in 2023, the need to secure your valuable data has become paramount.

An all-in-one platform for data security, Metomic can be a key asset to your team, detecting and protecting your sensitive data, even while you sleep.

How can I keep my data in Slack secure?

It’s a good idea to secure your Slack platform to minimise the risk of data leaks. You could do that by implementing new policies and tools that align with your SaaS security posture (SSPM), such as Metomic.

Integrating our data security software into Slack ensures your data remains safe, and keeps you compliant with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.

Why do I need data security for Slack?

If Slack is one of the most-used tools in your organisation, it only makes sense that you would want to secure the data contained within. For example, if a spreadsheet full of customer financial data was stored in Google Drive, you would want to lock that down in case prying eyes got to it. Slack is no different - although it may feel like a private platform, it could still be a valuable target for hackers if there is sensitive information within.

To protect your data and ensure customer trust, as well as compliance with national and international regulations, you should have a data security solution in place for your Slack environment.

What data does Metomic detect in Slack?

When you integrate your Slack environment with Metomic, you’ll have access to out of the box classifiers that detect sensitive data such as credit card numbers, bank account numbers, email addresses, and more.

You’ll also have the option to create your own custom classifiers to protect sensitive data that matters to your organisation.

Why choose Metomic for your data security?
  1. It’s easy for your security team to keep on top of data security, with dynamic Slack notifications that help them remediate violations in just a few minutes.
  2. Our employee notifications are sent in real time to your wider workforce, informing them of any violations they’ve made, empowering them to solve their own issues, and taking the pressure off your security team.
  3. Only the sensitive data is redacted in Slack messages so you can see the full context of the message to understand why sensitive data was sent.
