Company profile

As one of Switzerland’s leading insurers, the company offers a wide range of services for both private and corporate clients. With a long-standing market presence, strong innovation capabilities, and a clear focus on customer satisfaction, it is a key player in the insurance industry. Digitalization and the protection of sensitive customer data are major challenges – ones the company addresses through cutting-edge security solutions.

Challenges

In today's digital world, protecting sensitive data is a key success factor for companies in the insurance sector. In addition to regulatory requirements, companies are increasingly confronted with cyber and internal security risks. The loss of sensitive data is an increasingly serious threat for companies. In addition to financial loss, there is also the threat of considerable reputational damage. Against this backdrop, the company decided to implement a DLP solution and was therefore faced with the following challenges:

• Lock-tight data security: The solution needed to ensure seamless monitoring and protection of sensitive customer data. This included measures against external cyberattacks as well as protection against unintentional or intentional data leaks by employees.
• Seamless integration: The solution needed to fit seamlessly into the existing IT landscape – with no disruption to operations or security frameworks. Scalability was key to ensure future growth.
• Ease of use: Protective measures were not allowed to interfere with employees' day-to-day work. The solution had to be easy to use and at the same time have a high safety effect.
• Cost efficiency: Automation was key to reducing the workload for monitoring and incident management – enabling smarter resource allocation without sacrificing security.
• Regulatory compliance: The solution should ensure that all legal and regulatory requirements - particularly with regard to the GDPR and Swiss data protection laws - are met in full.
