Case Study: LeaderOne Financial achieves streamlined operations and simplified compliance with Barracuda Networks' Email Protection

Multi-state mortgage lender streamlines operations with email security platform

LeaderOne Financial, a U.S. mortgage lender with 90+ branches in 48 states and more than 600 staff (including 300+ licensed originators), struggled with time-consuming, fragmented archiving and slow e-discovery, the need to encrypt outgoing emails to avoid GLBA violations, recall misdirected internal messages, protect domain reputation and delivery, and locate and remediate improperly stored sensitive documents across SharePoint and OneDrive.

By deploying Barracuda Email Protection, LeaderOne implemented cloud archiving, automatic email encryption, incident response recall tools, automated DMARC/DKIM configuration, and Data Inspector scanning. The result was faster, more reliable archiving and granular e-discovery, reduced risk of data exposure, improved outbound deliverability, streamlined remediation of incidents (including large email loops), enforcement of clean-desk policies, and an estimated $100K–$250K annual IT operations savings.
