Case Study
AI-Powered Data Governance in Telecom
Problem Statement
The telecom industry deals with massive volumes of customer data, including personal information, call records, and billing details. Ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and TRAI is critical to avoid legal penalties and maintain customer trust. The organization aimed to implement an AI-powered data governance system to enhance compliance and minimize non-compliance risks.
Challenge
The primary challenges in telecom data governance included:
- Regulatory Complexity: Keeping up with evolving global and regional data regulations.
- Data Privacy & Security: Preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.
- Automating Compliance Monitoring: Reducing manual efforts in tracking and enforcing compliance policies.
- Scalability: Handling vast amounts of customer data across multiple regions while ensuring governance.
Solution Provided
An AI-powered data governance framework was developed to monitor, analyze, and enforce regulatory compliance in real-time. The system was designed to:
- Automate Compliance Checks: AI algorithms continuously monitor data access, storage, and usage to identify potential violations.
- Enhance Data Privacy: Implement automated data masking, encryption, and access control based on compliance policies.
- Regulatory Change Adaptation: AI models dynamically update governance rules based on evolving regulations.
- Improve Auditability: AI-generated audit logs provided transparency and easy reporting for regulatory authorities.
