Case Study: Mazars achieves enhanced cyber resilience and GDPR readiness with Mimecast

Mimecast helps Mazars strengthen cyber resilience and prepare for GDPR

Mazars Netherlands, an accounting and professional services firm with about 600 email users, faced a rising wave of sophisticated email-borne threats—ransomware, malicious links and spear-phishing—while needing to meet Dutch seven-year retention rules and GDPR requirements. The IT team also required a single, low‑overhead solution that would stay ahead of evolving threats without adding administrative complexity.

By extending its existing Mimecast archiving, security and continuity with Mimecast Targeted Threat Protection (Attachment Protect and URL Protect), Mazars gained real‑time sandboxing and link scanning that blocked an average of 44 malicious attachments and 209 bad links per month, delivered 99.999999% uptime over four years, prevented major ransomware incidents, and provided a proactive, low‑administration approach to GDPR compliance and cyber resilience.
