CIOs at large enterprises face constant pressure to innovate while keeping systems secure. One misstep—whether a data breach, regulatory violation, or mishandled migration—can cost millions in fines, damage customer trust, and slow critical transformation initiatives. Ensuring compliance and security isn’t optional; it’s foundational to enabling growth and digital transformation.
180ops solves this challenge with a containerized architecture, meaning your data stays in your environment, not in ours. This approach allows CIOs to integrate AI, CRM, and other digital tools safely, without introducing additional risk or compliance headaches.
Containerization doesn’t just protect data—it accelerates adoption of digital initiatives. AI-driven insights, CRM modernization, and cloud projects can be deployed with confidence because the underlying data environment is secure and compliant. CIOs can now act as enablers of strategic transformation, rather than firefighters managing risk.
“Boards are asking where AI can cut costs or drive revenue, but most AI rollouts fail without solid data foundations… Regulations are tightening, and customer trust is eroding—making traceability and control more than a nice-to-have.”

Consider the Capital One data breach in 2019, where over 100 million customer accounts were exposed due to a misconfigured firewall in their AWS cloud environment. Sensitive data—including Social Security numbers, credit scores, and bank account information—was accessed because of insufficient data segmentation and isolation.
The breach went undetected for months, causing massive financial and reputational damage (estimated to be in the range of $100-150 million) and highlighting the operational risks of failing to secure and containerize critical systems.
With 180ops’ containerized architecture, data stays securely in your environment, significantly reducing the risk of exposure. CIOs can confidently enable AI, CRM, and cloud initiatives without worrying that sensitive information could be compromised, while maintaining compliance with strict regulatory requirements, as described by Toni Keskinen, co-founder and CPO at 180ops:
Compliance and security no longer need to slow innovation. You can reduce your It complexity without adding any risk to your organization.
With containerized solutions like 180ops, CIOs can confidently support AI, cloud, and CRM initiatives while keeping systems secure and compliant. The result: more time spent on strategic growth, less time firefighting risk.
