Case Study: ByrneWallace prevents email data breaches and maintains ISO 27001 & GDPR compliance with DocsCorp's cleanDocs

How an ISO 27001 certified law firm manages the risk of data breaches

ByrneWallace, a top-tier Irish law firm with ISO 27001 accreditation, needed to prevent email data breaches driven by human error and to maintain GDPR compliance. After consulting a peer network, the firm chose cleanDocs from DocsCorp for its recipient-checking, metadata-cleaning and forced password-protection capabilities, and for its integration with the firm’s iManage document management system.

DocsCorp implemented cleanDocs across ByrneWallace’s email and iManage workflows—prompting users to confirm recipients with color-coded warnings, stripping more than 100 types of metadata from attachments, and enforcing password protection or Secure PDF conversion. Piloted in a sensitive department and then rolled out firmwide, the solution reduced the risk of accidental disclosures, helped uphold ByrneWallace’s ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, and was well received by staff and stakeholders.
