Leading Canadian Mortgage Insurer Gains Enhanced Visibility and Achieves PIPEDA Compliance with Endpoint Protector

Since 2010

In the market

At no point did I go, ‘We should have gone with somebody else.’ That was never an option.

Challenge

Monitor and protect against the unauthorized exfiltration of data
As Canada’s leading private mortgage insurer, Canada Guaranty stores large amounts of personally identifiable information (PII), such as Social Security numbers and financial data. They needed a robust DLP solution to monitor and protect against unauthorized data exfiltration from employee endpoints.
Challenges with monitoring local printers for remote employees
Canada Guaranty had been using Symantec but struggled with the inability to monitor local printers used by remote employees, prompting them to look for alternative DLP solutions.
Need for an on-premise solution with easy deployment
The DLP solution had to be deployed on-premise, but many vendors presented complicated deployment requirements. Ensuring compliance with regulations like PIPEDA was also a critical consideration in choosing the right solution.

Overall Netwrix Endpoint Protector works well, it does what it's supposed to do. I haven't regretted making this choice.
