AGE Desenvolvimento de Sistemas, a Brazilian company specializing in software development, recognized the urgent need for advanced security measures to safeguard its growing data pool and combat escalating internal threats. AGE decided to look for an innovative solution that would not just safeguard its confidential data, but also enhance its Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with ISO 27001 certification requirements.
Challenge: Comply with ISO27001 standards
Due to the increase in cases related to data leaks and the emergence of new threat agents, especially insiders, AGE needed a robust solution to strengthen the security of its personal, sensitive and corporate data. In addition, the company was looking to improve and mature its ISMS, a crucial requirement to maintain its ISO 27001 certification.
Solution: DLP that improves data security and productivity
AGE discovered a unique and innovative approach in Safetica: the integration of employee productivity analysis with data security audits. This combination allowed the company to protect its data, monitor and improve the performance of its employees, providing a double layer of security and operational efficiency.
AGE implemented security policies that measure the amount of data sent and the means used to send it. Employee productivity became a crucial factor in preventing internal threats. It was observed that less active and engaged employees were more likely to not follow internal policies, increasing the risk of compromising information security.
By implementing Safetica, AGE was able to identify disengaged employees and with them data leak risks. Therefore, the AGE team established a constant process of awareness and support for underperforming employees. As risks were identified, they decreased thanks to the combination of productivity analysis and the implementation of preventive policies.
With Safetica, we have managed to protect our data and comply with ISO27001 standards, while significantly improving the efficiency and engagement of our employees, which has considerably reduced corporate risks.
