Data Loss Prevention

This project deep-dive looks at a solution built on Trend Micro's Smart Protection suite.

Customer Overview

Lifes2good are an international healthcare company headquartered in Galway, Ireland. At the time this project was completed, they employed over 130 people across 8 countries and had a turn-over in excess of 50 million euros. In 2017, US conglomerate Church & Dwight acquired their flagship brand, Viviscal, in a deal worth $160m. Following the divestment of Viviscal, Lifes2good strategically refocused its business and are now partnering with entrepreneurs and inventors who are at different stages of their business development journeys.

The Requirement

With over 130 staff across eight countries working in an ever-changing high-paced industry, Lifes2good needed to deliver technology to their users quickly and efficiently without compromising security. Their IT system had grown from a traditional centralised network to a more distributed cloud based system with the bulk of their data sitting in Salesforce, Box and Office 365. They needed a way to secure all of the data in these different systems without impeding the end users ability to do their job.

Our Solution

Trend Micro’s DLP solution works by installing a small software agent on all trusted company devices. Only devices with the agent installed are permitted to access company data regard less of where that data resides i.e cloud apps or on-prem servers. When a user attempts to access company data, the agent would allow or deny access based on a policy managed by a central server. The system also allowed us to display user justification prompts that would only allow data access once the end-user provided justification. All access attempts were recorded and aggregated into a dashboard for review gicing full traceability.
