Case Study: DeltaCredit Bank achieves an 80% reduction in DLP false positives and a transformed security culture with Fortra (Boldon James Classifier)

Delivering A Change Of Security Culture For DeltaCredit Bank

DeltaCredit Bank, one of Russia’s top five mortgage lenders and a Société Générale subsidiary with 17 regional branches, faced growing risk, compliance and data-protection challenges because it had no formal data classification process. Treating all information the same led to incorrect risk assessments and put the bank at odds with Central Bank of Russia requirements, so DeltaCredit set out to implement continual, organization-wide classification for every file and email.

After piloting Boldon James Classifier with 40 users, DeltaCredit rolled out Email, Office, File and SharePoint classifiers (configured in Russian) and communicated the policy by email. The solution was implemented quickly without specialist consultancy, was widely adopted, and integrated with the bank’s InfoWatch DLP to provide reliable metadata—reducing DLP false positives by over 80% (from ~150 to 30–35 events/day) and driving a lasting change in security culture and data visibility.
