Case Study: Growthpoint achieves cyber resilience with Mimecast

Growthpoint avoids R75 million legal costs with Mimecast

Growthpoint Properties, a major South African REIT, faced a complex challenge after unbundling from its parent company. Without any existing IT infrastructure, they needed to establish a new email brand while ensuring business continuity, compliance archiving, and protection against evolving cyber threats like spear-phishing. They approached vendor Mimecast for a solution that could provide enterprise-level security without a large capital expenditure.

Mimecast provided an integrated email suite including Secure Email Gateway, Archive, and Targeted Threat Protection services. The solution delivered immediate cost savings on infrastructure and licensing and provided robust business continuity. The archiving capability proved invaluable, saving the company R75 million in a legal case by providing crucial email evidence. Mimecast's advanced security solutions have given Growthpoint full cyber resilience, allowing their IT team to focus on core business functions with complete confidence in their email security.
