Case Study: High-Profile Accounting Firm reduces email risk and enables two-way secure file transfer with Litera Microsystems Secure File Transfer

Accounting Firm Reduces Email Risk with Secure File Transfer

Accounting Firm faced a sudden security gap when Intel announced the EOL of McAfee Email Security Solutions and needed a replacement that would protect thousands of clients’ confidential tax and financial data. The firm required a two‑way encrypted transfer solution that let clients send files back without subscribing or paying, handled large file sizes, reduced password management overhead, and supported custom branding and metadata cleaning—requirements that led them to evaluate and choose Litera Microsystems’ Secure File Transfer.

Litera Microsystems implemented its on‑premise Secure File Transfer with multi‑factor/two‑factor authentication, no file‑size limits, customizable retention, metadata cleaning, and branded web portal, Outlook add‑in and mobile app. The November 2016 rollout was seamless, staff and clients adopted the tools readily, upload/download times improved (handling files from about 2MB up to 186MB), client password hassles were reduced, and the firm gained greater client confidence and operational efficiency thanks to Litera Microsystems’ solution.
