Case Study: Allens (leading international law firm) achieves centralized, automated information-barrier management with iManage Security Policy Manager (iManage)

How Allens has enhanced and streamlined the application of security and information barrier management through electronic automation, using iManage Security Policy Manager

Allens, a leading international law firm serving clients across Australia and Asia (and part of the Linklaters network), needed a central portal to manage information barriers and related security arrangements for around 1,600 users. The firm sought seamless integration with its iManage Work document system and Aderant Expert matter management, while reducing the heavy manual overhead, improving governance and creating real-time auditability.

Allens deployed iManage Security Policy Manager (SPM) to automate policy definition, delegation and enforcement across systems, enabling authorised staff to set up or change barriers within minutes from any location. The solution delivered scalable, consistent controls, electronic audit logs and significant time and cost savings—keeping information barrier management effective and uninterrupted during remote working.
