Case Study: Gimv secures critical investment data and consolidates cloud and on-premise security with Check Point Software (CloudGuard)

Gimv secures critical investment data with Check Point CloudGuard

Gimv is a European investment firm managing about €1.6 billion across more than 50 portfolio companies, with offices in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. As the business moved to cloud services like Office365 and SharePoint Online and handled high email volumes (around 1,000 emails per hour), IT needed to protect large amounts of sensitive data, simplify threat management for a small team, and maintain end‑user flexibility.

Gimv deployed Check Point solutions – including CloudGuard SaaS (with Harmony Email & Office and Harmony Endpoint capabilities) – to provide unified, cloud-aware protection. The consolidated, single‑pane‑of‑glass architecture flagged and removed suspicious mail before delivery, secured data during the Office365/SharePoint transition, reduced vendor sprawl and costs, and simplified day‑to‑day security management with a “set and forget” approach.
