Case Study: Major Aerospace Supplier achieves ITAR/EAR compliance and full data protection in 90 days with Fortra's Digital Guardian

Compliant with Client Data Protection Requirements in 90 Days

A multinational engineering, IT and staffing firm needed to rapidly implement comprehensive data protection for an aerospace client that handled ITAR/EAR‑regulated information. With a small security team, contracts contingent on meeting strict controls, and a tight timeline, the company had to address multiple attack vectors—DLP, network access control, removable media management and DRM—without the internal resources to evaluate and deploy several point solutions.

Fortra’s Digital Guardian provided a single, data‑aware platform and Managed Security Program that enforced usage policies, persisted classifications, and masked ITAR‑restricted data per user. The managed deployment was fully operational within 90 days, required no additional IT or capital expenditure, consolidated all data protection needs, and achieved full ITAR/EAR compliance.
