Case Study: Shire achieves global data governance and rapid eDiscovery with Druva inSync

Global governance and backup coverage for healthcare research

Shire, a global specialty biopharmaceutical company known for ADHD treatments, faced strict regulatory and security requirements for vast and growing research data—much of it acquired through M&A. Their existing SaaS backup lacked transparency around cloud storage and compliance, and eDiscovery processes could take 4–5 days just to locate data and weeks to months to retrieve it across roughly 6,000 endpoints.

Shire deployed Druva inSync (Backup & Restore, Governance, DLP) in the cloud across its 6,000+ users, giving legal teams direct eDiscovery access and full lifecycle visibility. The result was faster, compliant access to data, elimination of extra archival/recovery services, a smaller internal footprint, rechanneled IT resources, and payback on the Druva investment within nine months—making endpoint backup and governance part of Shire’s IT DNA.
