About the Client:
A well-established regional bank with multi-state presence offering retail banking, commercial lending, investment services, and digital banking products. The bank manages large volumes of sensitive customer data and operates under strict regulatory oversight.
Background:
The bank had centralized analytical and operational data on Snowflake. With increasing internal access requirements across teams—marketing, compliance, risk, development—traditional access controls became inadequate in protecting sensitive data such as PII and financial details.
Challenge:
Admin overhead in maintaining multiple access rules and custom views.
Needed fine-grained access control at column level based on user roles.
Compliance with GLBA, GDPR, CCPA, and PCI DSS required strict data masking and audit capabilities.
Risk of over-privileged access and manual view creation led to duplication and inconsistency.
Developers required production-like data for QA, without exposing real PII.
