About The Customer
Founded in 1911, Khaitan & Co is one of India’s oldest and largest full-service law firms. The firm offers legal solutions to both domestic and international clients across various verticals, ranging from BFSI, government bodies, educational and charitable trusts, cultural institutions to high net worth individuals, and estates and trusts. As the appointed custodian of all its client data in digital format, the firm faces the challenge of ensuring client data doesn’t find its way into unauthorized hands. Its survival depends on the ability to protect this client data.
The Challenge
Khaitan & Co, one of India’s oldest and largest full-service law firms, is the appointed custodian of all its client data in digital format. This includes sensitive documents such as contracts, bonds, and stocks. The firm's survival depends on its ability to protect this client data from falling into unauthorized hands. However, with no security solution in place, the firm lacked visibility and control over its critical data. The data flow within the organization, as well as email accounts from external third parties, couldn’t be effectively monitored and guarded. Unchecked and unauthorized USB/flash devices, printers, and cloud applications also presented a major security risk. The firm needed a solution that could help identify potential sources and points of data loss, and secure them effectively without interrupting normal business operations.
The Solution
After a thorough evaluation of the market, Khaitan & Co's IT team shortlisted three vendors - McAfee, SonicWall, and Forcepoint. Forcepoint DLP was chosen as it offered a better outflow capacity and could also monitor screen capturing on an offline system. Forcepoint DLP is a lightweight application that doesn’t slow down the system servers that are crucial to the firm’s business. The solution was implemented by Forcepoint’s SI partner, IT Solutions India Pvt. Ltd., in approximately one month’s time. Forcepoint DLP has helped Khaitan & Co plug all possible points of data loss, thus enabling security of internal and client data. The solution provides real-time protection, monitoring data flowing within the firm’s systems in real-time. It covers the gamut of media capture, storage, and output devices, including emails, external storage devices, printers, and cloud apps.
