Glen Day: Pioneering the Domain of Data Risk Governance to enable companies to gain control of their data and start winning the Cyber War 

“Innovation is the unrelenting drive to break the status quo and develop anew where few have dared to go.”

A true leader understands the value of innovation and directs all his energies to create or adapt something new. In today’s world and amidst technological advancement, you have to embrace the latest changes and keep ahead of the market to leave a mark. 

Leadership is all about action and encouraging others to give their best in whatever they excel. One such dynamic leader of this era is Glen Day, who is pioneering Data Risk Governance (DRG) to enable companies to gain control of their data and start winning the cyber war.

About the Entrepreneur

Glen Day is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of NVISNx, his fourth startup. It is based in Santa Monica, California.

He has years of experience running cyber and privacy programs and being a trusted advisor to some of the world’s largest companies. Before starting NVISNx, he was a Cyber Security & Privacy Partner at Ernst & Young (EY). The technocrat is a retired Navy Commander who specialized in Information Warfare and was Los Angeles County’s first Chief Privacy Officer. His professional experience and foundation have provided him with the operational focus and unique experiences to develop NVISNx’s strategic vision.

NVISNx’s Insights

NVISNx’s DRG platform (Nx) provides a simplified global view of enterprise data risk and enables companies to gain control of their data to reduce risks, compliance scopes and storage costs. 

Nx identifies and classifies all enterprise data, no matter where it is, and enriches it from various directory services and data controls to provide an interactive, global view of all data. It automates risk analysis to enable data-driven decisions for better protecting critical data while also identifying files that no longer have business value and can be purged. Nx eliminates business, IT, and security silos allowing all stakeholders to view data in context, collaborate and act, empowering them to finally get control of their data, reduce risk, enhance compliance and save millions in excessive storage costs.

What makes you Stand Out?

It is imperative to be unique and different from others in the market to thrive and survive. On that notion, Nx was built to align with the business’ priorities by focusing on enterprise risk. Unlike its competitors that offer point solutions for security or compliance, Nx offers a more holistic and data-centric asset approach targeted to the C-Suite while also including security and compliance stakeholders. Nx delivers a powerful and easy-to-use solution for the business to understand their data risk areas and manage their data by seamlessly collaborating with IT & security and other stakeholders to act on the data.

Ensuring Unbreakable Faith

Satisfaction of customers should be your topmost priority. Without ensuring this, you can’t move ahead.

At NVISNx, they are helping customers protect their brand reputation, so they are customer-centric and value-driven to meet the data risk challenges their customers face every day. Nx is giving customers valuable insights into their data, their controls, and user behaviors to “protect & purge” data so they can act more as data defenders rather than breach firefighters. Glen Day says, “We do this by providing an innovative, high-quality enterprise solution they can rely on to manage risk and build the transparency and trust required by customers.”

The Company’s Competitive Advantage

Let’s focus on the competitive advantage of NVISNx.

  • Nx aligns with the business’ priorities by focusing on enterprise risk and providing leading indicators of risk and compromise so that companies can make more informed decisions about their data to benefit the whole company.
  • Nx was built for the business, delivering a powerful solution that empowers business leaders to manage their data and seamlessly collaborate with other stakeholders to view and act on the data.
  • Nx is powerful yet easy to use. The unique data classification approach enables business users to classify data in minutes and not be dependent on data scientists to build models that take weeks or months.

The Mantra of Success

To get success requires effort, but to sustain it demands perseverance and resilience. Glen Day has opted for strategies to ensure success in the long run.

Let’s have a look!

Continually evaluating achievements and setbacks is very crucial for the entrepreneur, including:

  • Is the NVISNx Team highly engaged and empowered to build the company that they are very proud of and excited about its long-term growth?
  • Are NVISNx’s customers satisfied? Is Nx continually providing value, and do they view NVISNx as a strategic partner?
  • Is NVISNx aggressively gaining a global market share that is sustainable and profitable?
  • Is NVISNx helping to redefine our customers’ legacy practices and being recognized as the new industry thought leader?

In the Future

Every organization has certain goals for the future. On this, Glen Day states:

“We continue to establish our market leader position in the emerging integration of Data Risk Governance (DRG). One of our F500 customers says, “We finally are in control of our data, not the data managing us.” Our vision is to assist our customers in treating data as an asset in which some assets have high value and require elevated protections, while other assets have low value or may even be a liability that could be defensibly disposed. This would enable companies to focus on their core business, creating differentiated products and services, and not be distracted or dissuaded from cyber threats or privacy compliance penalties.”

Encouraging Creative Thinking

A company can never grow without thought-provoking ideas. If you are not doing something new and challenging, your graph of success will be stagnant. 

Glen Day strives to provide an open, collaborative and transparent culture that embraces creativity and innovation. He follows three things whilst doing this:

  1. Empower the individual and team to share new ideas
  2. Provide an environment where they think big, the best idea wins, and we start small and fail fast and early.
  3. Reward effort, not only success.
