Mitratech ClusterSeven

Mitratech ClusterSeven is an end-user computing (EUC) solution that helps organizations discover and manage risks hiding outside of IT’s control, including spreadsheets, Access databases, and other business-critical applications.

Shadow IT refers to the hundreds or thousands of End User Computing (EUC) spreadsheets and data assets hidden across your enterprise, created by employees using applications outside of IT’s development and management process, with Excel spreadsheets being one of the most common examples.

ClusterSeven creates a control framework for spreadsheets and databases, automates the production of documentary evidence, and helps satisfy requirements for various regulations including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), SMCR, OpRes, GDPR, SS 3/18, and SR 11-7.

ClusterSeven can discover and manage Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Access databases, script-based EUCs, and other business-critical applications stored across your organization’s infrastructure, handling over 100,000 files in a single database.

ClusterSeven monitors who’s making changes and to which files by deploying workflows and alerts, tracking exactly when files were created or modified and who took those actions using role-based security permissions.

ClusterSeven includes Discovery (to find hidden spreadsheets and EUCs), Enterprise Spreadsheet Manager (ESM), Cloud Spreadsheet Manager (CSM), Access Database Manager (ADM), Text Script Manager (TSM), and Inventory Management System (IMS).

ClusterSeven classifies risks by analyzing critical files using customizable rules such as formula or macro complexity, use of sensitive terms like “confidential,” inclusion of unprotected client or personal data, and the presence of hidden worksheets.

ClusterSeven is designed to help businesses across various industry sectors including financial services, technology, manufacturing, law firms, human resources, retail, energy and utilities, pharmaceutical, and legal.
