Case Study: Leading Engineering And Manufacturing Organisation achieves ISO 27001-compliant data classification and ITAR control with Fortra (Boldon James Classifier)

Critical Data Protection At Leading Engineering And Manufacturing Organisation

Headquartered in the Middle East, the client is a leading electronics manufacturer and systems integrator serving local to international defence customers. Certified to ISO 27001, the organisation needed a way to classify and label documents to maintain accreditation, protect daily confidential outputs, and control ITAR-related information for safe sharing with partners and suppliers—capabilities it did not previously have.

After evaluating vendors, the client selected and implemented Boldon James Classifier within three months due to its technical strengths, full Microsoft Office coverage, and strong support. The solution is fully deployed with a security policy and default “Internal” labeling that eased adoption; the admin console allows fast policy updates. Early results include positive user feedback, stronger data protection and compliance with ISO 27001 and ITAR, and plans to add Classifier Reporting for visibility and Mobile Classifier and DLP integration in future.
