We have used other DLP solutions in the past, and I can say that the EPP DLP is way better than the others in helping us meet our compliance needs.

Challenge
  • Balancing Data Security and Employee Privacy: Kompanion Bank needed a solution that could secure financial and personally identifiable information (PII) without violating employees' personal digital space, particularly regarding personal messengers like Telegram.
  • Granular Policy Control: The bank required granular control over its data security policies, especially to manage chats and personal messengers, while ensuring unauthorized PII transfers were blocked effectively.
  • Cost-Effective Data Loss Prevention Solution: Kompanion Bank had been using a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution but sought a more cost-effective alternative that could provide the same or enhanced functionality without compromising on quality.
  • Smooth Implementation and Support: The deployment of the new solution needed to be seamless, with excellent support from both CoSoSys and local partners to ensure minimal disruption and an immediate impact on compliance needs.

The implementation was very quick, and we started identifying non-compliant behaviors straight away.
