Case Study: The Nature Conservation Corporation achieves reliable email continuity, compliance and data protection with Mimecast

Leading environmental consultancy turns to Mimecast for protection

The Nature Conservation Corporation (NCC) is a leading South African environmental consultancy whose growing, dispersed team was hampered by an unstable onsite email server. Frequent Eskom power outages, scalability limits and rising regulatory requirements (King III) left the organisation vulnerable on availability, archiving, compliance and potential HR/legal exposure — risks that threatened operations and reputation.

Mimecast’s Unified Email Management (SaaS) provided cloud continuity, automatic archiving, data‑loss prevention, Smart Folders and spam filtering. The deployment restored reliable email access, delivered admissible archived evidence that defused a serious HR/legal incident, improved collaboration and reduced spam, bandwidth and energy costs — effectively replacing dozens of field servers and paying for itself while supporting NCC’s governance and green‑IT goals.
