Case Study: Smartsheet achieves pure-cloud email security and IPO-ready compliance with Mimecast

Smartsheet Goes Pure Cloud with Mimecast

Smartsheet, the cloud-native collaborative platform used by much of the Fortune 100, needed to replace an inherited on‑premises email security approach and augment Google’s native email protections as the company scaled and prepared for an IPO. VP of IT Mark Peterson pushed a “pure cloud” strategy and identified email security as a gap that could undermine compliance and add operational overhead.

Smartsheet implemented Mimecast for targeted threat protection, cloud archiving, mailbox continuity (including journaling and the M2A bundle), which fit its cloud-first mandate. The solution streamlined compliance, improved threat visibility, quieted users’ inboxes, and cut management to under two hours a week—delivering high availability, simpler operations, and greater confidence as the company grows.
