Case Study: io oil & gas consulting achieves lean operations, full data transparency and robust DLP protection with Fortra

Lean Business Performance, Data Transparency and Security with DLP as a Managed Service

io oil & gas consulting, a 2015 joint venture between GE Oil & Gas and McDermott, provides upstream consulting and engineering services that rely on highly sensitive reservoir, financial and engineering data. The company wanted a lean, cloud-forward IT model with full data transparency, but needed to prevent internal and external data loss without investing in heavy infrastructure or large security teams.

io selected Fortra’s Digital Guardian DLP as a managed service, enabling rapid deployment (90 days) across endpoints and gateways with no upfront infrastructure costs and scalable coverage for large projects. The solution delivered real-time visibility, early threat detection and automated responses, drove user behavior change through education, and produced a documented security program that reassured clients and strengthened collaboration with Digital Guardian’s technical team.
