Why TCS is a go-to partner for cyber resilience and compliance

When customers ask, “Is our data secure? Is it compliant? Do we know where it lives?” - what I hear is a need for confidence: confidence that ransomware will not halt the business and that compliance can be demonstrated across on-premises and cloud environments.

For many organizations, ransomware response is still measured in days rather than hours, turning delayed detection into downtime, lost revenue, and brand risk. The objective is to contain attacks quickly and restore operations in minutes or hours—not weeks.

That is why NetApp invests in strategic partnerships like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), they bring industry expertise, global delivery scale, and the ability to operationalize cyber resilience and compliance across complex hybrid environments.

Introducing two outcome-focused solutions we’re bringing to market

Enterprise Cyber Shield for data-centric protection

This TCS led cyber resilience offering helps organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from ransomware with speed and confidence. TCS standardizes assessments, policy design, operational playbooks, and recovery validation so resilience becomes an ongoing program. NetApp provides the underlying capabilities that support rapid, clean recovery.

AI driven data classification for compliance and clarity

This solution helps organizations discover, classify, and govern data across complex estates. TCS enables the strategy and execution, while NetApp management capabilities provide the visibility and control needed to make classification actionable at scale.

Together, this approach reduces the blast radius during an attack, speeds recovery, and gives organizations a clear answer about where sensitive data lives, who can access it, and which policies apply.

What this partnership delivers

With expertise across banking, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing, TCS together with NetApp delivers scalable solutions that protect sensitive data, strengthen compliance, and reduce operational risk while helping organizations meet SLAs.

• Optimize storage utilization and cost savings — Identify and offload up to 30% redundant or aged data using lifecycle management.
• Reduce data migration timelines — Cut timelines by up to 50% through precise segregation of sensitive and non-sensitive data.
• Improve AI data modeling — Remove up to15% duplicate data to build compliant datasets for GenAI and RAG (retrieval augmented generation) initiatives.
• Improve data visibility and control — Gain end to end visibility into structured and unstructured data across on premises, private cloud, and public cloud environments.
• Strengthen compliance assurance — Reduce compliance risk and improve audit preparation time by up to 70% with automated reporting and prebuilt GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA mappings.

Closing thought and a simple next step

Organizations that emerge stronger after an incident treat cyber resilience as a business capability, not an IT checkbox. They know where sensitive data lives, rehearse recovery, and can prove compliance without scrambling. That’s what the NetApp and TCS partnership is designed to deliver: faster recovery, stronger governance, and enterprise-scale confidence.
