The Solution 

Fortra™’s Digital Guardian® worked with the firm to determine the best way to address the client security requirements and meet the tight deployment deadline with as little disruption to employee workflow as possible. Digital Guardian’s data aware solution – that protects the data directly while enforcing appropriate use – provided a single solution for all their data protection needs. Data loss prevention, network access control, removable media management, and ITAR-compliant features can all be managed with the Digital Guardian platform. Due to the aggressive deadline and limited internal resources, the firm chose Digital Guardian’s Managed Security Program (MSP). The MSP offering enabled the firm to focus on existing operations and rely on DG security experts to manage and monitor all threats to their data, from either inside or outside the organization. Because Digital Guardian classifications persist as data is used, ITAR-regulated information could be masked or displayed based on each individual user. The client’s requirements were unexpected, and therefore unbudgeted, but the decision to go with the MSP offering eliminated the need to adjust their capital budget. No new servers, capitalized software, or added IT personnel were required.

The Results 

• Fully operational within 90 days
• A single, managed solution for all data protection needs 
• No additional IT or security overhead 
• No additional capital expenditures 
• Fully compliant with ITAR/EAR requirements
