Case Study: Largest U.S. Non-Profit Corporation achieves enterprise-wide PII visibility and protection with Fortra's Digital Guardian

Leveraging Data Discovery to Drive Data Security

One of the largest U.S. non-profit corporations serving over 9 million members faced the challenge of locating and protecting vast amounts of personally identifiable information (PII) used for insurance and financial services. The organization needed to discover sensitive data in both structured and unstructured forms—documents, spreadsheets, images—and across varied state-specific driver license formats, multiple egress channels, and an environment of 8,500 endpoints running Windows, Mac, Linux and Citrix.

Fortra’s Digital Guardian provided automated discovery and multi-factor classification that mapped where PII lived and how it was used, including support for state-by-state driver license rules. That visibility enabled tailored policies and controls for email, web uploads, file transfers and removable media; after rollout to 8,500 endpoints the company gained clear enforcement, reduced false positives, and protection of sensitive data at rest and in motion, helping preserve member trust.
