- Streamlined visibility
- Scalable architecture
- Executive alignment
One of the world’s top earning law firms, with branches in thousands of locations, initiated a strategic plan to improve its data handling and insider risk management (IRM) within strategic areas that classify and manage sensitive information.
Since brand reputation and client confidentiality are the central aspects of its continued success, the firm understood that its existing security layers were insufficient in protecting against sophisticated internal threats due to a lack of insight.
Company profile
Even though the firm was already bound to other vendors by contract, it embarked on a journey to assess more effective options. The overarching aim was to streamline operations, mitigate exposure, and enable the foundation for flexible digital fortification in the long run. The firm hoped to consolidate legacy tools while reducing risk, enhance modern privacy compliance, and lessen investigative barriers.
The need
The firm’s existing solutions lacked core IRM capabilities such as User Activity Monitoring (UAM), advanced privacy controls, and executive-ready reporting. Teams were forced to operate within siloed tools, making it challenging to correlate behavior, respond to threats, or demonstrate control across a highly regulated environment.
Key challenges included aligning global data protection needs with jurisdictional privacy requirements, reducing investigative workloads, and ensuring the security solution could scale across thousands of endpoints and servers in a cloud-first architecture. The firm needed a solution to deliver high-fidelity insights without compromising trust or performance.
The solution
The firm deployed the DTEX Platform in a multi-phase approach that began with a targeted evaluation of its endpoint capabilities. DTEX delivered a consolidated view of insider risk and data movement, with behavioral analytics designed to surface intent and reduce noise. Advanced privacy controls and role-based access helped the firm balance visibility with compliance.
The DTEX platform integrated with existing systems and supported the firm’s long-term goal of displacing legacy IRM and data protection tools. By aligning with executive stakeholders, including direct engagement from the CISO, the platform was approved for immediate rollout under an existing signing authority threshold, eliminating roadblocks and accelerating time to value.
The results
By adopting the DTEX Platform as its insider risk management solution, the firm took a significant step toward replacing fragmented legacy tools and unifying its global data protection strategy.
Benefits
- Streamlined visibility: Unified behavioral telemetry and UAM capabilities reduced investigation time and eliminated gaps in coverage.
- Scalable architecture: A cloud-first deployment supports 8,000 endpoints and lays the foundation for future expansion to 5,000 servers.
- Executive alignment: CISO engagement and direct advisory board participation signal long-term investment in DTEX as a strategic partner.
