Case Study: Optimal Risk Group achieves secure file sharing and ISO 27001 compliance with Egnyte

Optimal Risk Group Provides Ironclad Data Protection with Egnyte

Optimal Risk Group, a security risk management consultancy, needed a stronger way to protect and govern highly sensitive files than Microsoft SharePoint could provide. With a dispersed global workforce and clients in critical infrastructure, banking, and high-value private assets, the firm needed secure file sharing, tighter control, and better support for ISO 27001 compliance. Egnyte was chosen as the platform to address these data security and access challenges.

Egnyte implemented secure content governance for Optimal Risk Group, including controlled sharing, granular permissions, content lifecycle policies, and detailed audit visibility. The company migrated files from SharePoint, improved internal file storage and access, and could now prove when files were viewed, shared, or deleted. With Egnyte, Optimal Risk Group accelerated progress toward ISO 27001 compliance, strengthened client confidence, and even won new business, including a contract with critical infrastructure operators soon after demonstrating Egnyte’s controls.
