Case Study: McHenry Savings Bank achieves secure, low-latency email protection with Clearswift Adaptive DLP

McHenry Savings Bank - Customer Case Study

McHenry Savings Bank, a community bank serving McHenry County, Illinois, needed a better way to protect sensitive financial information without disrupting employee productivity. Its existing DLP and email spam filtering setup caused compatibility issues, blocked or delayed emails, and sometimes added up to 20 minutes of latency, creating frustration for staff.

Clearswift implemented its Adaptive Redaction solution integrated with the Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway (SEG), replacing the bank’s legacy DLP approach with gateway-based scanning, structural sanitization, document sanitization, and data redaction. As a result, McHenry Savings Bank reduced email delays, improved compatibility with different mail systems, strengthened data protection, and cut routine maintenance from hours each week to about 30 minutes, freeing IT staff for more strategic work.
