Case Study: Chelsea and Westminster Hospital improves patient data protection with Forcepoint DLP

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital cuts security incidents from 6,000-10,000 to 10-20 with Forcepoint

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, a major healthcare provider in the UK, was an existing Forcepoint customer when a security breach involving a lost USB key provided the impetus to further improve its data protection. The hospital needed a solution to proactively manage data flows and gain visibility into how patient records were being handled to prevent future incidents and meet stringent regulatory requirements.

The hospital implemented Forcepoint's DLP solution to fingerprint and monitor the movement of its 1.6 million patient records. This provided the required visibility and control without making workflows impracticable. The results were outstanding, reducing monthly security incidents requiring investigation from thousands to just 10-20. Forcepoint's solution provided critical safety assurance, required little maintenance, and was seen as a compelling investment to safeguard patient data and avoid potential fines.
