Case Study: Guararapes Group achieves financial-class protection for 30 million customers' data with CrowdStrike

Brazilian Fashion and Retail Business Protects 30 Million Customers' Financial Data With CrowdStrike Solutions

Guararapes Group, Brazil’s largest fashion retailer with over 360 stores and 30 million customers, launched Midway bank to provide financing and digital services. That expansion created a need for financial‑class cybersecurity and regulatory compliance (LGPD), but the company’s legacy antivirus was slow, hard to manage across 10,000 devices and provided poor visibility into threats.

Guararapes piloted and then deployed CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform across 10,000 endpoints in three months, pairing a 24/7 SOC with Falcon Complete managed detection and response. The solution delivered real‑time visibility, faster incident response and low endpoint impact, relieved endpoint maintenance burden, and improved the security team’s productivity by about 70%, raising the company’s security posture to financial‑grade protection.
