## The use case: how Patelco Credit Union deploys Cyera

Patelco uses Cyera as its foundational layer to find and classify sensitive data across its Azure and on-prem environments. Cyera surfaces sensitive data and risk, while Patelco's other tools apply controls and drive incident response.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Cyera and Patelco Credit Union, not ours.

> With sensitive data finally visible, Patelco moved from governance on paper to governance in practice. The team is more focused on reducing risk, "ready for many regulated audits," and able to report to leadership where concentrated risks sit and how its maturity is progressing.

> Data protection maturity is not just about adding one more tool, it's about enabling execution of the governance.
